Luke 6:1-12
Jesus calls Himself “Lord of the Sabbath” which meant he was referring to himself as God. Then the second incident is on another Sabbath. I do believe that Jesus’ life was planned by something that I see in John Chapter eleven. There we find Thomas fearful that Jesus would be stoned when He said: “Are there not twelve hours in a day?” meaning Jesus’ life in this world was like a twelve hour work day. Now He heals the man’s withered hand and the Pharisees are furious. Can you imagine that they would be so upset over a healing? Now this man can actually work when before he wasn’t able to. Where was their compassion? I was worthless before I met Jesus. Now I can work for Him. Jesus’ example of prayer is great for me. However, I am unable to spend all night in prayer.
