If you share the good news,
if you share the gospel with another person,
what is it you are sharing?

Why is the resurrection so important?

Paul reminds us that 'Salvation' is ALL God, working in us.

God, who created the universe from nothing,
who raised the dead,
has the ability to empower you for the work of sharing the gospel today.

Do you "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" ?

What of holiness do you pursue, on that day that set aside to remember the Sabbath?

We can clearly see that scripture teaches that some ailments are spiritual in nature. There are other instances of illness in Luke's gospel which are NOT attributed to "spirits"

Luke is identified as a physician in Colossians 4:14. Do not write-off these biblical writers as superstitious.

We are to learn from their specific turns of phrase and causal connections.
Luke tells us that this woman's illness was caused by "a disabling spirit"

Could it be that someone slogs off to the doctor's office in search of relief,
from something that only God will heal, in answer to prayer?

 

Two things: 1. The Sabbath is a loosening of the bond.  2. Standing for the truth and heart of God is a winning proposition

By healing the disabled woman, Jesus was FULFILLING rh Sabbath, not breaking it.

Who is better, Mother Theresa or Hitler?  What is your standard for excellence? What is God's standard? Do you agree with God?
