Luke 17:1-10 - Jesus and Serving Others

Living like Jesus: Have a Servanthood Mindset
Living Like Jesus: Get a Group
Living Like Jesus: Go Tell Somebody about Him
Living Like Jesus: Know the Point of God’s Word
Living like Jesus: Have a Servanthood Mindset
Jesus came to serve the will of the Father
Jesus teaches servanthood as a core attribute of being His follower
Jesus models this servanthood that leads with a towel and wash basin
Jesus: God incarnate is the obedient servant of God’s Will
17:1-3 - A warning: Be watchful so you don’t lead anyone astray
Don’t be a skandalon = source of leading others away from God
17:3-4 - A reality: Being God’s Family involves repentance and forgiveness
17:5-6 - A request: Being God’s Family grows our faith
17:7-10 - A parable: suppose = a common occurrence in the day
17:11-19 - A miracle: 10 lepers healed by grace, 1 returns to Jesus with gratitude

What having a Servanthood Mindset/Attitude is about:
We get that God owes us nothing
We get that we are to obey God in everything
We get that our servanthood is part of our sonship=family devotion
A Hymn by John Newton, 1779
“Our pleasure and our duty though opposite before, since we have seen his beauty, are joined to part no more. It is our highest pleasure, No less than duty’s call; To love Him beyond measure, And serve him with our all… To see the law by Christ fulfilled and hear His pardoning voice transforms a slave into a child and duty into choice.”
