Jesus is present in the Synagogue teaching and discovers a woman bent over with an infirmity for 18 years in that condition. He calls her to him to the ruler of the synagogue's dismay.

Why do covenant children pass through situations that are an aberration ? What happens when your experience contradicts your covenant heritage ?
