He (Jesus) said to them, “What man of you, if he had one sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Matthew 12:11, 12
Lord there was a man that needed Your healing touch on the Sabbath. It was against the law to do anything on the Sabbath and thus Your reply to those that were there to see what You would do. This seems to me to be a hard spot to be in until You asked the question. ‘Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath?’
Lord verses like these make me so grateful that You came to fulfill the law. Thank You that we don’t need to follow the law any longer. You have set us free and we are free indeed.
Thank You Lord! Thank You.
