Luke 9:46-56 has three brief stories describing the sinful failures of the apostles and Jesus' words of correction. Sadly, all three of these problems have continued among Christians to the present day and are likely to be an issue at times for each believer. Here's the outline:
1. Problem: Competitive Pride (v46).
Correction: Imitate the example of children (v47-48).
2. Problem: Narrow Exclusivity (v49).
Correction: Appreciate our true allies (v50).
3. Problem: Harsh Vengeance (v51-54).
Correction: Mercifully desire others’ salvation (v55-56).
