Lent 2014 day 6

Lent 2014 day 6 by ric gustafson


Luke 6:9- ' Jesus said to the legal experts and Pharisees, " Here's a question for you: Is it legal on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it".


According to Old Testament Sabbath laws, this was a time when work was prohibited. During the time of Jesus, Sabbath laws had become legalese. The Pharisees, who were trying to discredit Jesus, were trying to trip him up with their interpretation of religious law. Jesus reminded them of God's Word regarding God's work. He pointed out to them that their is never a bad time to do the work of the Lord.
Jesus wants us to always be doing the work for him. Discipleship means that we look for opportunities to bring his mercy and grace to others. There is no excuse not to do God's work.
During this Lenten season, I pray that I can bring grace and mercy to others.
