Manna and Coffee: "Right" vs "Holy"
from Manna and Coffee · host Henry Holub
In Luke 14, Jesus asks a group of Jewish legal scholars to weigh in on whether or not healing is an appropriate and legal Sabbath activity. The legal scholars offer silence as the answer, Jesus heals the man in front of him who is suffering from an edema, and then provides the people around him an opportunity to recognize that minimizing suffering and saving life is always appropriate sabbath activity. The challenge, though, is learning to value the humanity in others more than you value being “right.”
