At the start of the feast, when Jesus talks about Sabbath, He’s confronting a performance driven culture among the Pharisees in relation to knowing God, in this case by keeping the Sabbath. We too live in a Performance Driven Culture. Then it goes on to their anxiety about status, this was about position, power and influence but it’s also about where they as individuals sat compared to others. Nothing’s changed, as human beings, most if not all of us, are obsessed in some shape or form with status. The third part of the reading tells of the day when God will set a table, He will host a feast with an invitation to all and it will not be based on performance or status, power and position. Join us on Sunday to hear some application for us today about all three of these areas.
