Today, i have been saturating in The Gospel according to Mark, chapters 2 and 3. These words are speaking so strongly to my being:
“Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched Him closely to see if He would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.” Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.” Mark 3:1-6 NIV
Think about it, even in His righteous anger, Jesus healed. That’s my Lord. -kww
Love passionately.

Funny how Jesus railed on those who focused more on the legality instead of the individual. Sounds exactly what the church is doing today to those in marginalized communities. The church has destroyed the lives of countless people via toxic legality, guilt, shaming and fear of ostracism.
If Jesus were truly real, the church today would be on the receiving end of a whole lot of table flipping.
