Read Luke 13:10-17

JESUS HEALS A CRIPPLED WOMAN
In our fallen world, diseases and disabilities are common. Their causes are many and often multiple. Whatever the immediate cause of your illness, you can trace its original source to Satan, the author of all the evil in the world. The Good News is that Jesus is more powerful than the Devil or any disease. He often brings physical healing in this life; and when He returns, He will put an end to all disease and disability.
Why was healing considered work? The religious leaders saw healing as part of a doctors profession, and practicing one’s profession on the Sabbath was prohibited. The synagogue leader could not see beyond the law to Jesus’ compassion in healing this crippled woman. Jesus shammed him and the other leaders by pointing out their hypocrisy. They would untie their animals and care for them, but they refused to rejoice when a human being was freed from Satan’s bondage.
The Pharisees hid behind their own set of laws to avoid love’s obligations. You, too, can use the letter of the law to rationalize away your obligation to care for others. But people’s needs are more important than rules and regulations. Take time to help others, even if doing so might compromise your public image.
