Listen from:
V.1-2 The Lord Jesus loves “these little ones” and He warns us that we ought to be very careful that nothing we do or say would ever offend one of them.
V.3-4 Suppose someone has done something to offend me, what shall I do? The Lord says I am to forgive him no matter how many times he may offend me. I am not to offend others, and I am to forgive, if anyone offends me.
V.11-19 Each one of these lepers cried out for mercy, and the Lord heard and healed every one of them. Just one of them turned back to thank the Lord. Here is a cleansed leper a Samaritan at the feet of Jesus giving Him thanks.
V.21 In other words the Lord Jesus is saying, “I the Lord Jesus, represent the kingdom of God among you.” It does not mean that the kingdom of God was inside each of them, for He was talking to unbelieving Pharisees.
V.22-37 The Lord tells of the time when He will come to reign. It will be a time of judgment in which some will be taken away in judgment and others will be left for blessing, the blessings of the millennium. Try to remember this, because many confuse this coming of Christ with the rapture. Here the unbelievers are the ones who are taken suddenly. All this will take place AFTER we believers have been taken to heaven.
