Stretch Out Your Hand: The Grace That Works Beyond the Law

Listen Later

In this episode, we turn to Mark 3 and explore the moment Jesus healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath. This act of grace exposed the hardness of human hearts bound by religion rather than compassion. Pastor Rains reflects on how Christ’s anger and sorrow at spiritual blindness reveal both His holiness and His mercy. The message reminds us that true rest and righteousness are found not in rule-keeping but in surrendering to the heart of God—where His grace never ceases to work.

 

📖 Scripture Focus:

Mark 3:1–6; Matthew 12:9–14; Luke 6:6–11

  • Christ’s righteous anger shows that divine love is never indifferent to hardness of heart.
  • True Sabbath rest is found in serving God with compassion, not ritual.
  • When grace moves, it breaks through our rigidity and restores life.
  • Jesus didn’t just heal one man—He poured out healing on all who would come to Him.
