Luke 6:1-11
(1) One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. (2) Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?" (3) Jesus answered them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? (4) He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions." (5) Then Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." (6) On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. (7) The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. (8) But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." So he got up and stood there. (9) Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?" (10) He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was completely restored. (11) But they were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
The religious leaders of the day had thrown the baby Jesus out with the bath water. They were so busy dealing with the rules and regs that they missed the fact that God in human form was standing in front of them. He wasn't what they expected, so they dismissed Him as a traitor to their faith. He was the one they were waiting for - to save them. If a religious action is Loving - not necessarily happy or joyful or fun but done with Love - and consistent with scripture, it is of Jesus. If it is judgemental, harsh, angry, condescending, self-righteous, critical, or nitpicky; it is not of Jesus. It's not about what you do, it's about following Jesus wherever He goes. He'll take you to places, and with people you never imagined!
