Healing

Scripture Passage: Luke 13:10-13

Jesus' healing of the crippled woman makes it clear that it is not God's will that any human being should suffer one moment longer than is necessary. The Jewish law was that it was perfectly legal to help someone on the Sabbath who was in actual danger of his life. Jesus insisted that suffering must not be allowed to continue until tomorrow if the person could be helped today. Let us not put off until tomorrow what we can do today.

Questions:
1. What was Jesus doing on the Sabbath?
He was teaching.
2. How long had the woman been a cripple?
18 years.
3. What did the woman do when Jesus healed her?
She straightened up and praised God.


Memory verse: Luke 13:13
Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised and thanked God! (NLT)
