As Jesus teaches from the Scriptures on the Sabbath he is confronted by the Pharisees over the issue of whether or not it is proper to heal someone on God's appointed day of rest. Jesus confronts their self-righteous and heartless attitude by asking if it is proper to do good or evil on the Sabbath? The question should have been rhetorical, but Jesus has to ask it because of the fear the people are experiencing at the hands of those who should have been representing God and teaching the people right from wrong. In the end, Jesus heals the man, demonstrates the compassion for others we should all have, and proves that it is always the right time to do the right thing.
What stops you from living according to the teaching of Jesus? How can social pressure be an excuse for not confronting evil? It is not acceptable for the people of God to fail to take up their cross and follow Jesus, we must choose to do what is right.
