In this passage of God’s Word, we see Jesus continuing to teach His disciples. This is a continuation of what He has taught them, and the pharisees from chapter 16. Considering that He was just addressing the pharisees, it is no surprise that Jesus would teach on traps that we should avoid in our faith.
Traps to avoid at all costs:
1. Putting others in temptation
Luke 17:1-2, Rom. 14:13-23, 1 Cor. 8:13
2. Holding unto a grudge
Luke 17:3-4, 6:37, Eph. 4:32, Mark 11:25, Matt. 6:14-15, 18:21-22
3. Underestimating genuine faith
Luke 17:5-6, Matt. 21:22, Heb. 11:1, Mark 11:22-24
4. Becoming prideful in your faith
Luke 17:7-10, Jam. 4:6-10, Ps. 25:9, Prov. 11:2, 16:18-19, Col. 3:2
