2432 entries for this category: Fasting Fasting was considered as a religious practice in the early times. Jesus tells the scribes that He could not put the new divine energy, unfolded in Himself, into the old forms of Pharisaism. And there was another reason for it -the presence of the Bridegroom. How could the children of the bridechamber fast while the Bridegroom was with them? He should be taken from them, and then would be the time to fast. He proceeds to insist on the incompatibility between the old Jewish vessels and the power of the gospel. The latter would but subvert Judaism, to which they sought to attach it. That which took place when the disciples went through the cornfields confirms this doctrine.

Shall we need repentence ? We accept the fact that we are sinners. We shall confess our sin before God. Then God will set us free. God is looking for a heart with confession and repentence. We have to humble before God in our daily life.

Jesus` response The scribes and pharisees were very keen to find out mistakes in Jesus` life. One day they saw, He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors. Aiming Jesus, they asked question about this, to His disciples. Jesus responded that that those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. Also told that he came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentence. These religious leaders themselves were felt that they are holy and righteous. But they were like blind guides. They did not observe their teachings. Bible says that one who confess his sin will get grace from God. Jesus came to call the sinners to repentence. Jesus behaved in sharp contrast to reveal the hypocratic face of then religious leaders.
