| Have you ever asked yourself "Is this right or wrong?" |
Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people. “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
The first thing that the teachers of the law did was to ask themselves, "Is this right or wrong?" This is something we tend to do every day of our lives, whether the moral dilemma is huge or insignificant, this is an easy trap to fall into. Should I? Shouldn’t I? It is right, or is it wrong. I believe that Jesus came to teach us to stop asking ourselves this question.
I believe, Jesus was never concerned about right or wrong, here’s why. The temple leaders are saying how it would be perfectly okay to heal on any of the other six days of the week, just, not today Jesus, it’s the Sabbath! And clearly, since you have done something wrong, you must be wrong. A logical and acceptable response, I think?
