Lk 20-17,18

· (2l) Responsible to avoid offending God Ø get out of His way Ø do not stumble over Him – The part of this verse, "Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces;" is equivalent to Mat 11-6, where Jesus warned us not to stumble over Him. Whenever you stumble over something, you can potentially break some bones, "But on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust." Jesus is making the distinction between falling on it and it falling on you; there is a difference between the two. While we are alive in the flesh, He is the little stone that we can stumble over, but when we stand before God at judgment day He may be the stone that falls on us that can grind our lives into dust.

Lk 21,1-4

· (11g) Servant Ø God’s standard is in proportion to our output – God does not merely repay us according to what we have done, good or bad; He repays us according to our means, you might say on a percentage basis. The poor widow’s two copper coins represented nearly 100% of her income, while the rich were probably only giving a fraction of one percent. God does not merely count the coins to determine your generosity, He takes into account every aspect of your life before He determines how hard you are working.

· (4d) Responsible to advocate God’s cause Ø Being accountable to Jesus – This is my favorite verse of the Bible, for in it lye’s the recipe for getting through this life and through the last days with your faith in tact, an endeavor that is perhaps the single most difficult task that God has imposed on any Christian of any generation in history (Mat 24-21). Jesus, in these three verses gathered all the vital elements and condensed them into one sentence. Here is a list of those elements: 1) Keep on the alert, 2) three ways to choke a seed, 3) the day of the Lord will come when you don’t expect it, 4) the antidote – prayer, 5) those who successfully go through it will actually escape from the horrors of it, 6) and the next stop after the tribulation is the presence of God – what a relief.

· (5k) Responsibility Ø Discipleship tested Ø God tests your strength through perseverance – There is a focal point to what Jesus said in these verses, stay awake (implying that falling asleep will be our greatest temptation and biggest mistake prior to the tribulation). When Jesus warns us of something, we would do well to heed it.

When we finally make some ground in our faith, the biggest job will still be ahead of us – to keep our faith in that same level of devotion and confidence without wavering in the depravity of the world’s temptations to fumble the ball.
