The Healer was watched closely for his conduct, his purity and his faith. Could the Healer really be accused of wrongdoing — for healing someone who was near death?
There was an expectation that he would act only on certain days. But the day came when the religious people least expected it.
He saw a man with dropsy, a condition that shows swelling of the body, oedema and infection.
The Healer asked – is it wrong to heal today? He asked not as to wait for their approval but to show His Way.
While they were quiet, He took the sick man, healed him and sent him away. He never let the sick man wait. He made him well immediately. He did not put him in a situation of being judged and questioned by anyone who knows the law too well.
He turned to the displeased mob of learned religious people and said – which of you here, having a son or a farm animal that has fallen into a well on such a day as today, will not immediately pull him out?
They could not reply to the Healer. He surely knew that they would bend the law and try their best to pull the animal or the child out of the well without seeking the obligations of sabbath rules.
He cares more for the man of suffering. He cares less about people who question his right to heal. Can the healed man be condemned for his healed body?
That day, the Healer pulled him out of the well of darkness, sickness, fear of death and death itself.
Jesus the Healer is more gracious than the ones who keep the rules and laws. He is 100% for life, healing and abundance of life.
When you meet the Healer, there is an answer. You will see His compassion for you.
