How is Jesus` way fresh or new compared to old religious practice or tradition?

The three-year ministry of Jesus Christ, culminating in his death and resurrection and his establishment of his church, makes all the difference in the transition from the Old Testament or Covenant to the New Testament or Covenant. In those three short years he ushered in a new era of salvation, although the old era contained the seeds of the new.The Old Covenant is to the New Covenant what promise is to fulfillment. How did, does, and shall Jesus Christ fulfill the promises of the Old Covenant? Christians are commanded to read the Old Testament and are allowed to benefit from it, but they do not take everything in it as final. Christians honor the Old Testament as the Word of God, just as Jesus did. But they read it, ultimately, through the vision of Jesus and the Spirit-inspired authors of the New Testament books and epistles.

What do you learn about Jesus, asking one of the most disliked men in town to become his follower?

this means that God would accept anyone willing to come to him.jesus also sais in answer to the scribes who murmur among themselves and ask him why do you eat and drink with sinners, Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. so jesus wants to give hope to all and not only the jews who have this thing of thinking they are the chosen people, and God is only for them.jesus is saying that the old rules of the old testament where you are saved by race has gone and these are the days of the new testament , the new covenant between god and mankind where all people can find salvation by FAITH in God through jesus christ and not only because the are jews

Why did Jesus forgive the man`s sins first, and heal afterward?

Sin is the root cause of all misery. Because of the Fall of Man, sin entered into the world. And sickness is a result of that fall in a general way.He exhibited His authority to forgive by healing the man. Remember the scribes had been reasoning in their hearts that Jesus could not have the power to forgive sins because He was not God and only God has such power. And they were partly right. Only God can forgive sins. But they also acknowledged that sickness was caused by sin. Jesus had only spoken the word that this man's sin was forgiven. He had done something which could not be seen. If He really had power, then let Him heal this man.so jesus manifests his power to forgive sin which cannot be seen, by the healing which can be seen.most of our problems have a root cause in sin which must be healed first before finding a solution to the problem, man`s deepest need is not for fairness rather it is for forgiveness.
