Healing Hearts or Keeping Rules |
|
¡°If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.¡± ( Isaiah 58:9~10 , NIV ) |
|
The law regarding the Sabbath was established to create a covenant between God and the Israelites at Mt. Sinai. This day served as an example of God¡¯s rest after creation and to provide a day of rest for servants. God wanted His people to be reminded of Him, His relationship with them, and their relationship with others.
The Pharisees had taken God¡¯s command based on meeting needs and made it a burdensome law. Jesus¡¯ act was unexpected and against the rules, but He met a need. God wanted the hearts of the Pharisees rather than their judgments. In their quest for perfection, they overlooked the Perfect One.
Although there is absolute truth, it is based on a Christ-like desire to meet the needs of those around us and strengthen our relationship with our Father. We can take confidence in following Christ¡¯s example of healing hearts rather than following rules. |

Father, help us to look to Christ, to follow only Him, and to point others to Him. Through our Savior¡¯s name. Amen. - ANITA PRICE, Lubbock, Texas |
