Healing on the Sabbath (Vol 3 No 56)


When Jesus healed on Sabbath days

He broke the sacred law;

The power structures were appalled;

Were shocked by what they saw.

 

For breaking of the Sabbath rules

Was such a heinous crime;

But Jesus taught that giving care

Was right at any time.

 

Laws cannot bind the gen’rous soul

Nor halt love’s strong embrace;

We cannot regulate good deeds

Nor govern gifts of grace.

 

The time to give support and care

Is now and every day;

When love was needed, it was there;

This was the Jesus Way.

 

When love is given and received

God is revealed each time;

When love is given and received

It renders life sublime.
