In Luke 14:1–6, Jesus is invited to dine at the home of a powerful Pharisee on the Sabbath but it’s not a friendly invitation. It’s a setup. A man suffering from dropsy is placed before Him, and all eyes are watching.
When Jesus asks, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”, the room falls silent.
He’s not questioning the Law. He’s confronting how man’s tradition has buried God’s truth.
In this episode of Shoes Off, we explore how Jesus turned a moment of scrutiny into a moment of mercy. Through His actions, He reminds us that the Sabbath was never about restriction, it was about restoration.
“The Sabbath isn’t about control. It’s about compassion. When mercy moves, God’s truth is revealed.”
