Why Heal On The Sabbath?
  • Jesus’ relationship to the Sabbath and the Father (Jn. 5:16-21; Matt. 12:8)
  • Jesus’ relationship with all people (Jn. 5:22-24)
  • Sabbath was not given to deny religious works (Jn. 7:19-23; Mt. 12:5)
  • Sabbath was not given to deny good works
    • saving a sheep’s life
      (Matt. 12:10-13)
    • care of an ox or donkey
      (Lk. 13:10-16)
    • saving a man (Jn. 7:23)
  • “Jesus healed because it was the Sabbath, that he might thereby draw such an issue between himself and the Jewish rulers as would afford opportunity for him to present his divine claims to them in the clearest and most forceful manner. He healed on the sabbath, that he might assert divine relations to the Sabbath, and by so doing bring about a disputation which would enable him to develop before them his divine relations to the Father” (Fourfold Gospel)
