does not think that Luke wants to answer a question of eternal destiny in the parable of Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. Rather, Luke is more interested in whether grace shapes our life right now.

David Lose
writes that forgiveness is the "essential ingredient" in our relationships at home, work, school, church, etc. because we all "screw up." The "end goal" of what Jesus describes in Matthew 18:15-20 is restored relationship.

's commentary invites us to rethink transfiguration. Perhaps the story of Jesus being transfigured in Matthew 17:1-11 is just as much about us as it is about him, a call to listen to Jesus.
