The Challenge — Day 108
Today’s Scripture: Luke 13:1-17
The leader was indignant. Webster’s defines the word as “feeling or showing anger over something unjust or wrong: very angry.” The leader thought it OK to water his donkey on the Sabbath, but not to heal a human being. Rules for keeping the Sabbath were miles long. You can do this on the Sabbath, but you can’t do this. This is considered work… this is not. Rules pile up on rules and slowly the most absurd thing happens: a donkey becomes more valuable than a child of God.
Is there something you value more than a person? Some cause or passion which drives you to choose the rule over the person? How do you think Jesus might respond to the rule?
