Great Supper

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 17, 2022

This is certainly an interesting text. The Lord has done three things that has caused this to be a very tense moment.

He has: - Healed a man against the approval of the religious leaders. - Dealt with the guest who had a manner problem. - Corrected the host. This passage of Scripture shows us a situation that the old farmers used to have a saying for. They would have said, “The Lord had ‘cleaned their plow,’ ...read more
