Expect

Nothing : Get Everything

Luke

14:1/7-14

Our

passage today focuses on a dinner party and teaches that religious

status-seekers will have no part in the kingdom of God. The passage

is made up of a healing in verses 1-6, which is covered in the PEWS

section of your bulletin, followed by two extended proverbs in verses

7-11 and 12-14. The setting is a dinner provided for a visiting

preacher by the local minister. It looks very much like a setup. The

sick man is placed before Jesus while the religious crew carefully

watch to see if Jesus will break the law and heal on the Sabbath.
