The word for today is - Forth !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Forth !

The question for many people is about the sabbath day.Read Mark chapter 3:1-6,And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. Now get this, Jesus ask a question,Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? Wow, think about that! Read Luke 6:1-2,And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? Now get this,Jesus is speaking, Christ justifies his disciples in a work of necessity for themselves on the sabbath day, and that was plucking the ears of corn when they were hungry. But we must get understanding and not to mistake this liberty. Christ will have us to know and remember that it is his day, therefore to be spent in his service, and to give Him his honour. Also read Luke 6:8-10,But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it ? And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.The key in all this is Luke 6:5, And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. This tells us , I am the Lord today and forever more, I have power to do what I will. You have to understand He knew their thoughts, He knew they watched the healing of this man. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen!
