Let’s see the Lord Jesus’ concern for man.
Our morality teaches us that love triumphs over duty to the law. Therefore, a mother with a sick child who cares for him does not have to go to Sunday Mass without sinning. Hat’s beginnings, God in his child. Indeed, she would have gone to that mass if the child had been healthy. We would only stand on the rule of law if we were strict rightists. But we know that God is Love. They did not want to admit this and stubbornly defended their statutes in the synagogue performances when the Lord Jesus healed a sick woman who had been hunched over for 18 years and could not straighten up on Saturday.
Because of this, there was a sharp exchange of views between Jesus and the superiors of the synagogue about celebrating the sabbath’s rest. While seeing and listening to what the Lord Jesus was doing, the nation did not accept his offer to enter the kingdom of God, rejected his calls to repentance, and stubbornly maintained his outward understanding of religion. The superior of the synagogue is angry that the Lord Jesus heals on the Sabbath. According to him, this is a big job. But he no longer considers the concern for his cattle to be heresy. The latter goes to water because he is thirsty. He can understand this, but he cannot understand helping the other – the help the Lord Jesus has shown this sick woman. What can be delivered to an animal cannot be proven to a person. Such is the opinion of the superior of the synagogue. Such teachings are Pharisaical. In this beautiful example, we can see the far-reaching consequences of the love of the Lord Jesus and the rigidity of the paragraphs of the Law of the nation’s leaders.
Saturday was a memorable day for the Jewish people to free the nation from Egyptian captivity. Therefore, even the superior of the synagogue was supposed to rejoice that one of the nation’s sisters had found liberation from her illness. The prominent certainly did not have to be wrong, but he clung very much to the regulations and knew little about love. For him, a prescription was more than an act of love.
After this explanation, let us ask ourselves a few questions: Are we not also like the superior of the synagogue? Aren’t we just prescribed? The gospel can become an opportunity for us to say goodbye to chronic faith. Adults, try to develop your confidence and dig even deeper into it. Abandon the childish ways and begin to live the truth of the time in which we find ourselves. To live your faith is to live it ever new, new, young,g and enriching. We must strip ourselves of such ideas that still bother anyone, that faith belongs to the Middle Ages, that it does not appeal to youth, that it is distant from the mentality of a man. On the contrary, we witness that faith for the one who seeks to know and understand it better becomes a great impulse to live and helps him solve problems.
The Lord Jesus healed a sick woman on the Sabbath. So he brought a new atmosphere to the celebration of the Sabbath. The Church does not depart from the teachings of Christ when it has an understanding of the temporal and regional needs of believers.
For us, Sunday is a non-working day, but that doesn’t mean we’re getting bogged down. It is a day to experience family fellowship. A day to deepen your knowledge of faith. It is a day when we can attend and use the meeting to refresh, encourage, strengthen, or bring joy to the sick and the old. It is a day when children are supposed to enjoy their parents and vice versa. That is, not only to pray but to go to church. After all, how much good can be done on one Sunday? How much joy can be caused in one Sunday sitting or meeting? Yet, we do not have to fear that we have trashed this day of the Lord. On the contrary, if we see in our brothers and sisters the Lord Jesus, it is precisely what the Lord Jesus wants to give to this day.
Our religion rightly deserves the name of being a religion of love. This is not only because we subscribe to the teachings of Christ permeated with me but because we strive to do so in practice.
