Jesus Handles Further Opposition (Matthew 12: 9-21)
Introduction – Jesus Moves on.
We continue where we left off last time by looking at how Jesus deals with the rising opposition against him by looking at how he compares, and contrasts Love and the Law.
9 He left there and went into their synagogue. And look you, there was a man there with a withered hand. So, they asked him, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?" They asked this question in order that they might find an accusation against him. "What man will there be of you," he said, "who will have a sheep, and, if the sheep falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, will not take a grip of it, and lift it out? How much more valuable is a man than a sheep? So, then, it is permitted to do a good thing on the Sabbath day." Then he said to the man, "Stretch forth your hand!" He stretched it out, and it was restored, sound as the other. So, the Pharisees went away and conferred against him, to find a way to destroy him. (Matthew 12: 9-14)
The Challenge Accepted.
The Characteristics of The Servant Of The Lord.
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. 16 He warned them not to tell others about him. 17 This was to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: 18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. 19 He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory. 2In his name the nations will put their hope.” (Matthew 12: 18-21)
