The Reign of Reversal

Jesus is a king who challenges worldly notions of honor and status. The Sabbath is not just a day of rest but a time for things to be made right, which Jesus demonstrates through his healing. Jesus, the true Host, took the lowest place on the cross to invite sinners to "move up higher" and receive his righteousness. The church is a "Sabbath banquet" where all are invited to receive forgiveness and healing.
