Life of Christ Lesson 105: Instruction at a Pharisee’s Table {Two Great Parables}

Luke 14:1-24

This is the last recorded Sabbath in the earthly ministry of Christ prior to His final arrival in Jerusalem (for the Passover).  Included in this lesson, "Instruction at a Pharisee's Table" are the Lord's healing of a man who had dropsy, "The Parable of the Seats at a Wedding Feast," and "The Parable of the Great Banquet".

The Lord's instructions were given to four people or groups of people.  With each person or group, He address a different subject matter.  Thus, our four-point outline looks like this:

1. Jesus Instructs the Religious Leaders about Sabbath Hypocrisy
2. Jesus Instructs the Guests about Sincere Humility
3. Jesus Instructs the Host about Selfish Hospitality
4. Jesus Instructs an Unidentified Man about Salvation Hindrances
