Jesus demonstrates a radical approach to love in Luke 13 by seeing, calling forward, and healing a woman who had been bent over for 18 years. While religious leaders objected to this healing on the Sabbath, Jesus challenged their priorities, emphasizing that compassion should triumph over rigid rules. This story reveals how Jesus prioritizes the overlooked and marginalized, reminding us that true faith is expressed through love rather than legalism. Jesus invites us to follow His example by truly seeing others beyond labels and categories, recognizing their inherent dignity as children of God.
