At State College Presbyterian this morning, Dean Lindsey was preaching from Luke 14:1-6, where Jesus, on his way to a fancy meal with "a leader of the Pharisees" on the sabbath, pauses to heal a man with "dropsy".

Dean's message really grabbed my attention. (Afterwards, I went to the big commentary on Luke by Joel Green, where I found the same information developed further.)
