Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him (Mark 3:1-6).

Jesus is again in the synagogue. He singled out one man in need of healing. He asked the Pharisees a question they are too afraid to answer. But consider the joy of this man who had been disabled for an unknown number of years. His hand was fully and powerfully restored. We know individuals who have had withered souls their entire lives. Let us bring them to the One who can completely and powerfully restore them.
