The Law Of Charity

 

Note:  Yesterday another mystery....the whole slice of Daily Bread did not appear...May it will today along with this one...Am I losing my mind?

Luke 14: 1-6

Jesus at a Pharisee’s House

1 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. ² There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. ³ Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?” ⁴ But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.

⁵ Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?” ⁶ And they had nothing to say.

Again Jesus demonstrates that the Law of Charity supersedes the Letter of the Law. He makes it seem so obvious, but to the "blind", he is a renegade, acting in total disregard for the binding laws imposed on the people through the interpretation of the Pharisees.  Yes, they were unable to answer his questions because the answer was so simple. They would have to have agreed with him, and that they did not want to do.

How do I stand when presented with a choice where the answer is plain and simple?  What do I fear? Why do I remain silent too?  Search my heart with me, O Lord, and help me find the truth that you plant there daily.
