Luke 5:33-35 “33 One day some people said to Jesus, ‘John the Baptist’s disciples fast and pray regularly, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees. Why are your disciples always eating and drinking?’ 34 Jesus responded, ‘Do wedding guests fast while celebrating with the groom? Of course not. 35 But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.’…”
Know the difference between TRADITION & TRUTH
Luke 6:1-5 “One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through some grainfields, his disciples broke off heads of grain, rubbed off the husks in their hands, and ate the grain. 2 But some Pharisees said, ‘Why are you breaking the law by harvesting grain on the Sabbath?’ 3 Jesus replied, ‘Haven’t you read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He went into the house of God and broke the law by eating the sacred loaves of bread that only the priests can eat. He also gave some to his companions.’ 5 And Jesus added, ‘The Son of Man* is Lord, even over the Sabbath.’”
FOLLOW Jesus instead of RULES
Luke 6:6-11 “…9 Then Jesus said to his critics, ‘I have a question for you. Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?’ 10 He looked around at them one by one and then said to the man, ‘Hold out your hand.’ So the man held out his hand, and it was restored!”
Value PEOPLE more than STATUS QUO
Main Idea
Jesus broke the chains of religion by dying on the cross for our wrongs and rising again to new life. Don’t focus on traditions, rules, or status quo. Follow Jesus, and let Him give you heart to love people.
