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

Its new becasue he wants the renewal of man through the death of the self, So the Q is as fasting is good to bring the bodily appetites and cravings under control, why is he critical of the Pharisees? and why do they call John' disciples Johns? arent they also Jesus? maybe not critical of fasting in istelf but wants them to think on the deep whys of the fasting. The Pharisees could be outward obedience to the written law and not focusing on the Spirit. John and some of the group are already grieving at the Death of Jesus. Then there will be occasion to grieve when the groom is dead and the about to be born Church will painfully see its birth awayting the Resurrection of the Lord. Fasting brings the body to a physical challenge. Anticipates the starving too that Jesus will afce for us on Calvary. It bringsd together the Old Law and the promised sacrifice. He will suffer Calvary and thus prepare our salvation and so it is the anticipation of that Banquet on which the Soul finds the most needed Food. Brings past presnt and future togheter. Only reflection on past can prepare ousrelves. For us its history teh crucifixion. For them an annunciated event. The Sacrificial Lamb. Its an alerting bell.

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

There is hope for everyone. No matter the depth of the hell you come from, if you are willing to follow in his footseps you can. Jesus love lays the path out. Everyone can become Family. And also human judge according to human laws..give Caesar what is owed to Caser. Paying taxes is a duty which many hate doing. They mistook his Message. the community needs tha taxes are paid fro the common good (andrightfully administered). Ruling all the Law of Love. They hate him cause they are too attached to their material possessions and if he is unjust, system overtaxing, they shoul allow for repentance and reform. Some are too attached to their chest of gold. Soem of them are also sinning indulging in pleasurses which is certainly wrong, but look at the story of the two children and the welcoming fatehr, they are becoming selfrighteosu and jelous. Their entrance in the Kingdom is secure, their obedience, but that does not mean that they hold exclusive rights. No matter how late the worker is called ()its all aprt of the plan that only God knows for his graeter glory and humans salvation), the Reward to his yes is always the same. God' s love knows no limits. More rejoicing for one lost and found sheep...And a truly fully haeled soul wishes healing for everyone. Healing the greatest gift.

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

True death is the one of the soul. The Health of ours souls is foremost. Its Life vs life: which is the truestmost precious one? also physical death is a passage into another raelm and our main concern should be to be as worthy as possible of meeting with the Father. Physical sufferings can be a purgatorial fire and we should not be disillusioned by the attachment to physical well being. True Peace also copming from a cleansed soul.
