TIME –A
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.
- The
religionists watched Jesus critically (v.1)
- The
religionists overlooked what was really needful (v.2)
- The
religionists made religious form more important than healing men (v.3)
- The
religionists refused to confess the truth taught by Jesus (v.4)
- The
religionists failed to see the inconsistency of their belief and behaviour
(v.5)
- 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.
