 On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. 9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” 10 And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

 ** Healing Day  ...**
+We should ask ourselves: is the Sabbath helping our own healing? Are we taking it as a day
+of freedom? Are we searching the Lord, the creator?
+There are so many vivid churches around in our countries. We can attend some exciting
+Sunday morning service. We can meet with others and celebrate, on the Sunday, the seventh
+day. By the way, it does not matter whether you take the Saturday, the original Jewish
+Sabbath day, or the Sunday, which the Christian church chose as its day of rest - the day
+of the resurrection. It does not matter, just take the freedom of the seventh day!
+Jesus is not avoiding the conflict. It seems he is searching this conflict. Is that good?
+In this case, yes. It definitely is good. He is searching the conflict since the whole
+rule system around the Sabbath has lost its purpose and needs to be regained and refilled
+from the inside! It needs to discover the freedom and healing which God wants for each
+and everyone of us, for you, for me, for all.
