Today’s Lesson: Meal with a Pharisee Ruler Occasions Healing a Man with Dropsy; Parables of Ox, Best Places, and Great SupperLocation: Jerusalem
Scripture: Luke 14:1-24
Description:
Jesus wasn’t in the dark about why He was invited to this dinner. But I have to admit that if a Pharisee had asked me to come to dinner for the purpose of spying on me, I would have refused. The Pharisee and perhaps others who were there were watching Jesus, and looking for something to use to damage the reputation of our Lord. This verse provides us with the atmosphere of the situation that Jesus was in. It was this prelude before the dinner that produced the tenseness.
