'What a Waste!' - Luke 6:6-7

On another Sabbath day, a man with a deformed right hand was in the synagogue while Jesus was teaching. The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely. If he healed the man's hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.

—Luke 6:6-7 NLT

Key Thought


What a sad story and what a waste of a wonderful opportunity for genuine worship. Here are religious folks who have presumably gone to honor God but with totally false agendas: They've gone to be critical of someone else. What a shame! What a sham! What a waste of a great worship opportunity. Surely nobody would do that today, would they? Hmm!

Today's Prayer


Father, forgive me for being critical of your children and wasting my worship time with your people by thinking harshly of others for whom Christ has died. Give me a deeper love for my brothers and sisters in Christ, and a holy passion for worship. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

This is a wonderful story of Jesus heart full of mercy and compassion on those who are sick or are disabled. Healing is one gift that comes from Jesus heart. Wordly people and sinners think that healing is a waste of time but in Jesus heart we see compassion, care and mercy. Jesus healed me from pain, as pain so bad I had sleepless nights for a long time. I prayed and asked Jesus to heal me and He did. Praise the Lord.
