FRIDAY- 30th WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –B
Gospel: Luke 14:1-6: Which of you here, if his son falls into a well, or his ox, will not pull him out on a Sabbath day?
1 Reading: Romans 9:1-5: I would willingly be condemned if it could help my brothers.

The Religionists and Their Error, Luke 14:1-6

A chief Pharisee invited Jesus to a meal on the Sabbath. Jesus strongly pointed out the errors of the religionists when they made a plot to entrap Jesus into breaking the Sabbath law. The same errors are common to every generation of religionists.
1.     The religionists watched Jesus critically (v.1)
2.     The religionists overlooked what was really needful (v.2)
3.     The religionists made religious form more important than healing men (v.3)
4.     The religionists refused to confess the truth taught by Jesus (v.4)
5.     The religionists failed to see the inconsistency of their belief and behaviour (v.5)
6.     Conclusion: The religionists were silenced (v.6)
Thought: Religionists are always putting their form and practices of religion before meeting the healing needs of people.
