Grace for your spirit December 12, 2011

Grace for your spriit
And He said to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life, or to kill?" But they kept silent. After looking around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, He said to the man, "stretch out your hand." And he stretch it out, and his hand was restored. Mark 3:4-5

Are we practical, legal or a helper? Every time Jesus reached out to help someone in need, somebody else had a problem. Somebody thought it couldn't be done. Another thought it was against the law. Still others thought the person didn't deserve the help. The popular response is to find a reason not to help. That way we don't have to put out any effort, and can rationalize our actions. Who is our brother anyway? Let's not be judges. Let's be interns for the Great Physician.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
