Gospel of Luke, Chapter 14, verses 1-6
Jesus had to get tired of being set up by his enemies, didn't He? If He did, He sure doesn't show it in today's Gospel. Instead, He uses it as a teaching tool to try to bring them beyond, over and past where they are stuck. But they refuse to engage. Yet none of that stops Him from doing the right and the good thing...even knowing that this right and good act leads Him closer to death. Love, my friends, is not sentimental. There is nothing sentimental about dying so that another may live.
