Withered Hand Healed on the Sabbath
· Mt 12:9–14, Mk 3:1–5, and Lk 6:6–10 describe a healing miracle.
· This miracle was performed by Jesus and was received by a man with withered hand.
· It was witnessed by Pharisees Asking for a Sign.
· what has healed = hand
• Jesus Heals a Man’s Hand on the Sabbath
• Healing the Man With a Withered Hand (Wikipedia)
Luke 6:1–11 (NLT)
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath
Religion Rejoices at the Misery of Others
Plan to fail
Matt 12:1 – Jesus went over to their synagogue
Jesus noticed him
Religion Looks for Loopholes
Jesus’ counter challenge
Religion Trips over Technicalities
Mark 3:4 - But they wouldn’t answer him.
The religious leaders were more sick than the man with the withered hand!
They were more concerned about their animals than a person created in God’s very own image!
Life Lesson: pets are precious – but people are priceless!
The Pharisees were more interested in Jesus failing than the sick succeeding.
Immaturity tears others down vs building them up
Healing Begins with the Heart
Man with the Hand
(one by one Luke 6:10)
Matt 12:13 – restored just like the other one
Religion Relishes in Revenge
Enemies enraged
(with the supporters of Herod - Mark 3:6)
Self-exam: do you rejoice in the healing of others?
Even if you were not the minister?
Or that healing did come through you?
Or God used somebody else?
Like the Pharisees:
Do you care for the person in need?
Or felt they deserved to be healed?
Or WHEN they were healed
Or HOW they were healed
Are you jealous of the success of others?
Do you criticize successful people – especially behind the backs?
– social media
Do you rejoice if another fails?
Do you have preconceived ideas about who should get healed, when and how?
And by whom?
If so, then it is possible that prejudice is hindering your own healing.
Like Jesus:
Are you willing to be used at a moment’s notice?
Are you willing to follow God’s way, even if it frowned upon by the establishment , or your friends?
Like the man:
Are you willing to receive your healing, regardless of the day of the week?
