Luke 6:1-11
1:
One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to
pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels.
2:
Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the
Sabbath?”
3:
Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his
companions were hungry?
4:
He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is
lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”
5:
Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6:
On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was
there whose right hand was shriveled.
7:
The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse
Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath.
8:
But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled
hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there.
9:
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good
or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
10:
He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your
hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored.
11:
But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were furious and began to discuss
with one another what they might do to Jesus.

International Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
NO BARRIERS TO DOING GOOD
The
Lord Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, anything god done to honour and glorify
Him on the Sabbath or worship day is permissible, especially if it is to save a
soul.
There
are no barriers to doing good. The Lord Jesus healed through speaking. The word
of God still physically heals today.
Let
us not, like the religious Jews, be fault finders, out of jealousy, but be
opened to what God is doing, even if it is through someone else or outside our
Church denomination or circle.
QUESTION:
Are you always eager to do good?
PRAYER:
O God, help me to always do good and never, because of jealousy, find fault in
anyone doing good in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
