Luke 14:1-11
2 And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. 3 And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” 4 But they remained silent.
Then he took him and healed him and sent him on his way.
5 And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”
6 And they could not reply to these things.
7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, 8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Jesus never lived by the motto:
Jesus is the exact nature of God.
Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His Powerful Word.
Consider Jesus' Goal, to heal, to promote the man's well-being.
Jesus wants the man to be self-sufficient. Jesus finds Life to be Joy. The work of mankind is to Believe the One He has sent. To work the garden, the good creation of God. Jesus doesn't need the man to depend on Jesus because Jesus knows the path of Jesus. To Live and Rise to God. This man will be sustained in his faith outlook.
To bring the man home in the Prodigal Son fashion, Jesus was explaining why He was healing. Jesus even explains when He wants to heal — Constantly. Jesus is working on healing the silent people. God says truth doesn't always bring happiness. Truth will, in progress, set us free.
Jesus says as we heal those around us — do so immediately.
Covid is described as the human body recognizes the illness as a Common Cold. The biggest common cold the human body recognizes and the immunity system goes into overload. Jesus is the opposite. Jesus isn't jumping on a stage. He doesn't set huge fires as a backdrop.
To Heal, Jesus isn't Lording over us. Jesus uses transparency and this puts hackles up.
Jesus overcomes the indignity of His Healing is approaching. Basically, being God of Love. They don't want Jesus above them. People are not comfortable being 'helped' or 'fixed.' He isn't bending down and cooing. Jesus has earned the Right and doesn't take this up. Jesus is even moderate in His teaching and preaching style. Jesus doesn't go out of His Way to suggest to the party, the more pious attitude of a Sunday work ethic is not to have the Party.
We say we want to heal the Nation. We ask for Unity.
Jesus is seeking Common Ground with all people.
And as the exact Nature of God, Jesus accepts not all will fall in love with Jesus. And in fact, Jesus waits upon His own Brothers and Mother. Believing in faith, Love will arrive. Jesus is content with the Person His Father has Created. Saying in His Life, Give Us This Day.
In this Goal Jesus has to heal, later in the day, Jesus will have the Great Crowd.
Jesus tells them the most important portion of Life, to know to Love God First. To Love God the Joy of the Lord is our Strength. Jesus has been disappointed in His, “Lunch with friends.” And explains how we get past disappointments in life.
Luke 14 Continues Teaching us about Jesus Finding Joy in Setbacks.
25 Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
31 Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.
33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
Jesus has fully explained His Day. Leading by example.
Sunday is a day for Family, instead Jesus is not entirely at peace with His Mother and Brothers. (Although Nazareth has two sets of Verses to historically say the family is a good and cohesive, loving family. ) Not because Jesus isn't longing for the Peace, Jesus is looking for the Good Fight to bring Life forever. Jesus isn't seeking the 'nicey' Peace. The great crowd knew where to find Jesus, so He is explaining His Choice on this day.
Jesus is cutting down class and monetary barriers. Jesus is Living Water, flowing to all who want to Drink From His Living Water.
Jesus is saying He is here for the Duration God Gives Jesus. Jesus is saying the Prodigal Son's Father has counted the cost. Jesus is also saying as He is teaching, recognizing He is the Son of Almighty God, Jesus is bringing forth the Peace.
Hebrews 1
His being, sustaining all things by His Powerful Word.
And

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1 Timothy 5:21
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality.
Colossians 1:16
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities
—all things were created through Him
and for Him.

And Jesus came and said to them,
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life.”
