Text: Luke 13:10-17
The text above recounts the event when Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on a Sabbath Day. There, He saw a woman bent over and could not stand straight for 18 years. He laid His hands on the woman and immediately, she became straight. The ruler of the synagogue, angry and surprised by what Jesus did turned to the people and asked them not to come for healing on a Sabbath Day. He said that there were six other days for them to be healed and apart from those days, they must not come to the synagogue for healing. He said this even though he had no business with the healing of people so we may want to ask, Why was this Pharisee angry?
Oppositions come to us because God has placed us high above the corruption of this life and so we become the envy of all. The presence of Christ in the life of every believer makes the difference in their lives and so because we do not belong and mingle with the world, we face oppositions. Jesus said the world would hate us because though we are in this world we are not of world(John 15:21,22). So as long as we are light in this world, we face oppositions. The good news, however is that Jesus will always be there to defend us giving us the wisdom to answer those who oppose us to their shame.
Amen & Amen
