Good or Evil?

On another Sabbath, Jesus entered a synagogue to teach. A man was there whose right hand was withered. The legal experts and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They were looking for a reason to bring charges against him. Jesus knew their thoughts, so he said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” He got up and stood there. Jesus said to the legal experts and Pharisees, “Here’s a question for you: Is it legal on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” Looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he did and his hand was made healthy. They were furious and began talking with each other about what to do to Jesus. (Luke 6:6-11, CEB)

Which is more important, keeping a day created for you or healing and restoring to community?

Is it better to heal on the sabbath or to allow evil to continue?

The leaders were upset that a person was restored to community because the “rules” had been broken. But are not the rules there to help us treat people as humanity and to lift them up and not continue to hold them in captivity?

Which would you choose, good or evil?

One thought on “Good or Evil?

  1. Obviously Good, however is the good obvious to us at all times. We need to rely on our relationship with the Holy Spirit for guidance. It seems like God is manipulating the leaders.
