Again He (Jesus) entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. And they (Pharisees) watched Him, to see whether He would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse Him. Mark 3:1, 2
Lord sometimes I have to stop myself from being judgmental and annoyed when I read verses like this. I have to remind myself that often people don’t know the difference from right and wrong and are following their own convictions until You show them the difference. The Pharisees were doing what they thought was the right thing and was what God would want them to do. There eyes had not been opened yet to the spiritual truths that You were trying to teach them.
Thank You Lord for giving us love and compassion for the unlovely. Apart from You working in my life I can become angry and annoyed with people like these Pharisees. Thank You for Your unconditional love that calls me on to be more and more like You. Oh how I thank You.
Thank You Lord.
