The Love of the Father – Luke 17:11-32

Jesus sends his disciples to heal and teach. Jesus heals and feeds the 5,000

“And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked.” (2 Peter 2:7). In this passage, Peter highlights the tension between living righteously in a sinful world and the dangers of falling into temptation. Just as God spared Lot from the wickedness of Sodom, He delivers His people from the corrupt influences around them. Yet, the warning is clear: Christians must remain vigilant, living holy lives amidst a world full of sin and temptation.

This passage teaches us the power of faith and the importance of bringing others to Jesus. The friends’ persistence and faith in Christ resulted not only in physical healing for the paralyzed man but also in the forgiveness of his sins. It shows us that true healing—whether spiritual or physical—comes from Jesus, and that we are called to bring others to Him, no matter the challenges we face. It also emphasizes that Jesus meets both our physical and spiritual needs.
