This begins with Jesus passing through the wheat field and His disciples plucking and eat and it was a Sabbath day. Pharisees begun accusing them saying they broke the law of Sabbath but Jesus defended His disciples saying David and his men ate food from the temple only meant for priests and were guiltless and the priest every Sabbath broke the sabbath and were guiltless. He desires that we show compassion on others not sacrifice. Being thoughtless lead to condemning the innocent.
Jesus is the Lord of Sabbath.
This is to teach us that we shouldn't be quick to judge and attribute a wrong motive when we see others doing something. We may not understand why. We should be merciful to others and seek to help them not condemn them.
Finding a man with a withered hand asked the Pharisees who on Sabbath did not pick up their sheep if fall in a pit on Sabbath; He said that human lives and well-being is more important than the sheep.
This should be our attitude, that being merciful on others is what God is looking for from us.
They began planning how to kill Him but Jesus went away from them. This teaches that we should not expose ourselves unnecessarily to danger when we are aware of them.
He healed many and STRICTLY AND SHARPLY warned them to make Him publicly known. He didn't want to be popular and known as a great healer and He was satisfied that people were healed. Here we see Jesus humility. Let us learn from Him. Not to seek greatness before the eyes of men but to live before God's face and seek seek only the approval of God for that alone matters. What's the use of being popular among people and being disapproved by God?
Everything Jesus did was to fulfill the scriptures.
Jesus never quarreled or shouted to anyone. Let us follow Him here.
No matter how much a man life has been destroyed and misused, however hopeless he maybe, Jesus saw hope in such. Let us also have this attitude, that the only person who's life cannot change is only one who is dead and buried but as long as someone is alive, there still hope.
Jesus speaks hope to the castaways and the rejected and the despised. Let us learn from Him. Let us speak hope to the hopeless and let us learn to encourage others.
You are blessed to be a blessing
