Jesus Heals a Man's Withered Hand on the Sabbath
The Sabbath was a day of rest observed as a foretaste of the future rest for God's people when God, in a cosmic act of grace, heals all things. So what better day for healing than the Sabbath? Well, this was not the opinion of the religious leaders. Rules are rules, after all! However, the "rules" were used by the religious leaders to create burdens for people - burdens they themselves, according to Jesus, would not even lift their finger to obey (Matthew 23:4). Jesus, on the other hand, shows that the Sabbath day is a great day for God's future of renewal to break into the present with healing.
Questions for Reflection
- Who in this story can you relate most with (the religious leaders, the man with the withered hand, or Jesus)?
- What traditions might hold you back from receiving God's best for you?
- What rules subvert the intent of the Sabbath for you or us?

Jesus performed many signs, but John recorded seven so that his readers would believe. This plan has the same aim. It presents a collection of miracles that Jesus and his disciples performed, showing us God’s character, His heart toward humanity, and His ability to move on our behalf. Not only that, we have Jesus' promise that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will do those things and more.
