Read Passage Here
There is alot in this chapter. What do you think about what Jesus says about duty? How does that fit into our idea of what Christianity is all about?
I love the story of the ten lepers. I always wonder what the other nine were thinking. Jesus TOLD them to go to the priest.....why would they turn around? But Jesus seems to rebuke them for following orders! I wonder if He is trying to show the Pharisees and even the disciples that letting the Spirit guide us instead of following strict guidelines is a good thing? Maybe He is showing that not only Jews are going to inherit the Kingdom, since the only leper who came back to Jesus was a Samaritan? What do you think?
I love this imagery of the Kingdom. This is proof that the Kingdom is already upon us! I think those who believe that the Kingdom is here NOW, have a totally different perspective of Jesus than people who think the Kingdom is purely after death, awaiting us on the other side. What do you think those differences of perspective may be?
