Jesus a provocateur

This picture Lucas gives us in 6.6-11 is an extraordinary one. Not many time we see such a clear picture of Jesus as a provocateur. In the time of Lucas it was urgent to see Jesus this way. The Jesus-Movement has to understand why they are excommunicated from the
Holy Jewish Community.

Jesus knows - as Lucas paint it - that all the scribes and pharisees are watching Him. It seems Jesus is glad to get a chance. A) He calls the hand-wounded-man into the middle
(not to a secret place). And more: B) Jesus put an provocative questions to all these holy men. C) The answer is clear: every pious Jews knows: the sacred religious LAW is in every case to be kept. But not Jesus. He likes to announce, to proclaim: The religious LAW, given by God or whoever is - in the eyes of Jesus and therefore for the Jesus-Movement - under the "NEW LAW" to heal (and to unite) people.

Jesus has in mind: as you see the situation of the people, of the Nation, of the World - healing is first priority. The Soul and the Body must be healed... only then we are able to build up a better world in the sense of the Kingdom of God.

Since the Baptism every Christian is called to become a Healer - once and today.
It's good to know the 10 Commandments, the Creed, the Prayers... but it's a holy need
to become a Healer. Something we have forgotten by the instruction of all our Sacraments. Every Sacrament has to be a Healing-process, a Healing-chance, a Healing-manifestation - if not, something has gone wrong.
This is a modern learning-process in the Church: HOW to Heal!
Therefore all religious people who keep the religious LAW as the highest will begin to discuss the best "way of dealing with Him" - it means to eliminate Him.
I hope the canonisation of Mother Teresa has been for many participants a healing (and uniting) manifestation.
And our celebration of the Holy Mass - a really Healing process ???
