“…it is impossible but that offences will
come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!” Lk 17:1
“Self-Justification
and judging others go together, as justification by grace and serving others go
together…Selfishness vs Godliness. In Lk 17 the Lord shows the disciples their
need for deep humility in serving others. Those who are matured in Christ are
called to invest in the “little ones” new converts. Faith in God’s pardoning mercy
will enable us to overcome the greatest of difficulties; thus allowing us to
forgive others. Indifference towards the discipleship and treatment, causing
them to stumble or fall away, of new Christians can leave them vulnerable to
false doctrine and bring about harsh judgment from Christ. The one indispensable requirement for rising
up Godly mature Christians is, Godly mature Christians who are patient and
long-suffering as Christ and others were with them.
