In Mark chapter 3, Jesus enters the synagogue on the Sabbath. He encounters a man with a deformed hand. The religious leaders focus on trapping Jesus rather than helping the man. Their strict adherence to the law prevents them from seeing Jesus' compassion.
Key Points:
- Jesus asks the Pharisees about good deeds on the Sabbath.
- The Pharisees remain silent, revealing their hardened hearts.
- Their focus on the law overshadows its purpose of healing and hope.
This story prompts reflection on our own attitudes. Do we prioritize rules over compassion?
