A Man with a Withered Hand
This powerful exploration of Jesus' healing miracles invites us to reconsider what we truly believe about God's will for our physical wholeness. At the heart of this message is the account from Luke 6 where Jesus heals a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath. The religious leaders watched, knowing Jesus would heal but hoping to catch him breaking their rules. What unfolds is a profound lesson about faith and action. Jesus asks whether it's lawful to do good or evil on the Sabbath, comparing the healing of a human being to rescuing a sheep from a pit. The answer is obvious; we would rescue the animal without hesitation. Yet when it comes to our own healing, we often hesitate, wondering if it's God's will. The key moment comes when Jesus commands the man to stretch forth his hand the very thing he couldn't do. This wasn't just a test; it was Jesus creating an opportunity through His spoken word. When the man obeyed by faith, stretching as far as he could go naturally, he reached the beginning of what God was doing supernaturally. His hand was completely restored. This story challenges us to stop making excuses and start taking faith-filled action, even when we've tried everything before. Tonight, might be the one more time that changes everything.
