Here we have past the seventh. Sabbath of Luke. Yes there are seven. Sabbath in the book of Luke. The first Sabbath is at Nazareth in his hometown. The second Sabbath is at Cooper Anjum with the Demon possessed man and the Healing of peters mother-in-law before the sunsets. The third Sabbath is picking grain. The fourth. Sabbath is Healing of a man with a whither hand the fifth. Sabbath is Jesus Healing, a woman who has been over for 18 years, a daughter of Abraham. The sixth Sabbath is Jesus Healing, the man with the swelled up body and abnormal swelling of the body. Now we have just passed the seventh. Sabbath, and we are on to a newfirst day of the week. A new Sunday morning. A resurrection way of life.

Any inauguration of a newly installed King would be the King seated on his new throne. Maybe? Here we have Jesus thrown as a instrument of Roman torture. The Roman empires, torture instrument, Jesus takes, and transforms it into his throne. He takes the tree of death, which we remember from the garden of Eden, and transforms into the tree of life.

The Passover festival takes us back to the exodus from Egypt. When Moses wasn’t instructed to tell the Israelites to paint the blood of the pass over lamb on the door, post of the houses, so that the angel of death would pass them by and that their firstborn would not die. Here we have Jesus offering his blood and his body to his disciples to eat a meal in remembrance of him, and remembrance of the pass over festival. In fact, we cannot understand the true significance of the pass over festival, without recognizing the deep significance, that Jesus takes it onas he faces is death.
