Division in the family unit is one that goes on for eternity, and Jesus states it clearly. Every human has a right to do and believe in what they wish, and no one can stop them. If a child moves towards Christ at an early age, and the elders don't, what right does the elders have to stop a child in that belief" It's a tricky situation, as the beliefs a chid may take up can also be very dangerous. So when do the elders step in" That's a legal question, and should be answered by God himself!!
Jesus' parable is a great teacher for our own hopes and dreams. Start small, feed it, nurture it, and let it grow until it reaches maturity. That is especially true of faith!
The dilemma of Sabbath day is one that continues to hound society even now. Is it to kept as a holy day, or should the marketeers take advantage of it" This is not a decision that should have been made by any person on Earth, as the concept of Sabbath is one given to us by God. Since God created it, only God and Jesus control the events of that day. In the case of the crippled woman, the priest would be right from the pint of view of mankind. But Jesus makes a valid correction to our understanding. Healing is something that cannot be blocked into six days of the week. As the animals need a release from bondage, the crippled lady was also released from her bondage with Satan. We should all hope that Jesus or God will view our own bondages under the same kindness and gentleness. Amen
Anyone who dares to not listen and believe in Jesus is not in their right mind. Belieiving in God, Jesus and the Holy spirit is paramount if you are to enjoy life and do well in everything you aim to do. Amen, and God Bless!!!!!!!!

Jesus stated it succinctly, in that greed and pride are values that have no place in Heaven and Earth. Honouring everyone before yourself is a goal we must all strive for.
