Message: The gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 14:1-6
~Perspective of the Pharisee:
How do you see them?
How does Jesus see them?
How would you treat your animal that has fallen into a ditch and can’t get out?
~Perspective of the man needing help:
How do you see you?
How does Jesus see you?
Outcast, misfit?
Desperation overcomes the difficulty.
Presenting yourself to Jesus, again.
A.W. Tozer, "In every generation, the people who have found God have been those who have come to the end of themselves."
Eugene H. Peterson, "A religion without miracles has only marginal worth; why bother with religion if you can do it all yourself anyway?"
