Introduction

After Jesus reproaches the Pharisees for their faithlessness and self-righteous behavior (see Luke 16), he addresses his disciples and teaches about sin, forgiveness, faith, and service. 

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Luke 17:1-10

Today’s Key Verse: Luke 17:10b

[Jesus said:] “…when you have done all you have been told to do, say, ‘We are ordinary servants; we have only done our duty.’”

Reflect

What is your understanding of Jesus’s teaching on forgiveness (verses 3, 4)? Why do the disciples ask Jesus to make their faith greater (verse 5)? Have you ever felt the need to pray for greater faith? Reread verses 7-10. What do you think it means to be a faithful servant of God?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I turn to you in faith, asking that I grow in knowledge of you. Teach me to forgive others as you have forgiven me. You are my source of true strength, and I thank and praise you for your everlasting love. Amen.
