Lk 13:22-14:6

  • Narrow door
    • is it by God's selection or is it by people's choice? Calvinist or Arminian? is there a valid in-between or not? those are the questions;
    • God's love is for everyone, that should be clear; but not everyone response to it (or at least not in a positive way); since God knows all and controls all, does it follow that He loves only a chosen few? does the concept of 'free will' contradict with "God knows all things" (i.e. omniscient--one of the three O's; the other two being omnipresence and omnipotent)? If God doesn't really knows "all", does it lessen the fact that He is the Creator?
    • in some ways, theology is a logical way of reasoning God; is that really necessary?
  • that fox -> Herold;
  • v33: no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!
  • Is it lawful to heal on Sabbath or not? Jesus did:
    • 13:10-17 -> the woman crippled by a spirit;
    • 14:1-6 -> man with dropsy;
