In today’s gospel lesson, we read about a man who had a great desire to follow Jesus. This man was a tax collector, which is a type of person who collected taxes from the people.
The tax collector had a great desire to follow Jesus, but he was very ashamed of himself. He was so ashamed of himself that he would not even go into the town where Jesus was preaching.
One day, Jesus called the tax collector to follow him. When the tax collector saw Jesus, he was so surprised that he fell to the ground.
After Jesus healed the tax collector, he told him that he would be forgiven for his sins. The tax collector then followed Jesus gladly. Here is a super informative post that goes into more detail.

Purpose of Sunday School Lesson
Purpose of Sunday School Lesson:
The purpose of Sunday School is to provide a place for children to learn about God and His teachings. In Luke 7:11-17, Jesus teaches a parable about a man who went to a far country to seek healing. When he returns, he finds that his friends have all turned against him. He asks them why, and they reply that he has been away too long and has not done anything to help them. Jesus then tells the parable of the good Samaritan. In this story, a man is beaten and robbed on the side of the road, and a Samaritan helps him. The lesson that Jesus is trying to teach is that it is important to help others even when they are not helping you.
Background of Luke 7:11-
In Sunday School, we studied the background of Luke 7:11-17. In this passage, Jesus heals a man who was paralyzed from the waist down. The man asks Jesus to move him, but Jesus says that he can only move the people who are willing to let go of their sins. The man then asks Jesus to heal his son, who is also paralyzed. Jesus says that he can only heal the son if the father first lets go of his sins. The father then asks Jesus to heal him, and Jesus heals him. This story shows us that it is important to let go of our sins in order to receive forgiveness.
Context of the Passage
In today’s passage from Luke, we read about a man who had a great desire to see Jesus. When Jesus saw him, He said, “You are not able to see because you are blind.” The man replied, “I can see perfectly well. I just can’t see Jesus.” Jesus then said to him, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam” (v. 13).
The context of this passage is that Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on a Sabbath day. He was teaching about the kingdom of God. The man who had a great desire to see Jesus was blind, and he was not able to see because he was not willing to obey Jesus’ commands. The man was not able to see because he was not willing to repent and turn from his sinful ways.
Historical Significance
The historical significance of Luke 7:11-17 is that it is one of the few New Testament passages that speaks to the issue of forgiveness. Jesus is speaking to a group of people who have just come back from the Festival of Tabernacles, and He is teaching them about the importance of forgiveness.
This Sunday School lesson is designed to help students understand the importance of forgiveness, and to apply it to their own lives. Jesus is teaching His disciples about the importance of forgiving others, even if they have hurt you in the past. He is telling them that it is the right thing to do, and that it will lead to a happier life.
If we are able to forgive others, we will be able to move on from the past and live a happier life. This is a lesson that we can all learn, and it is one that Jesus is teaching us in Luke 7:11-17.
