FRIDAY- 30th WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –C
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?
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.
