Pastor Nathan Swenson-Reinhold, Luke 13:10-17
Jesus heals a woman on the Sabbath. He was chastised by the “establishment”, who said that such a “work” was in compliance with the “Law”! This story of healing calls us to see those who are bent over by circumstances or prejudice or the blindness of society and, as we are able, to put ourselves in their place. Once we’ve seen it from their perspective, we will be in a good position to see how we can go about loving ALL of our neighbors instead comfortably sitting on our “Monday Quarterback Couches” and complaining and criticizing others!
