Last week, we looked at the episode of Jesus’ healing of a bent over woman on the sabbath. This week, we find him at the home of a Pharisee eating a meal, on the sabbath. Their time together opens with Jesus challenging those gathered on sabbath healing (to which they remain silent!), and then turns to a discussion about places of honor and what it looks like to extend hospitality in a manner that honors God and others. Again we’ll ask, what does it look like to live a “sabbath life” in both word and deed.
