Jesus Healed A Man With A Withered Hand
Today's exciting story shares how Jesus healed a man with a withered hand. This was a very exciting and amazing miracle. However, it angered Jesus' enemies because He performed the miracle on the Sabbath day.
According to the Law of Moses, no one should work on the Sabbath day. The scribes and Pharisees always became angry because they believed that miracles were deeds of work.
They were very strict about not working on the Sabbath. Therefore, they believed that Jesus sinned against God by working miracles on this day of rest.
Jesus saw a man with a withered hand one Sabbath
One Sabbath day, Jesus went to the Synagogue. He saw a man with a hand that had never grown. It was small and withered and he couldn’t use it
Jesus felt compassion for the man and wanted to heal him. Suspecting what the Lord was about to do, His enemies watched to see if He would heal the man on the Sabbath day.
| Jesus told the man with the withered hand to get up and come forward! The Lord then spoke to His enemies because He knew what they were thinking. He asked a question, “Does the Law of Moses say to do good, or evil,
on Sabbath days?” However, they never
answered, because Moses’ Law says to do good on the Sabbath.  |
Jesus was angry with the Pharisees, because
they didn’t care at all about the poor man.
But Jesus cared! He told the man to
stand where everyone could see him.
“Stretch out your hand,” Jesus said to the man.
The man obeyed and stretched out his hand.
There, in
front of everyone in the Synagogue (including
the Pharisees) a miracle took place!
Right in front of his own eyes,
the man watched his hand grow
and become a normal hand!
It was a miracle!
He was so happy!
The Pharisees became enraged!
They went straight out to
meet with a group of people called the Herodians.
They were also
leaders who didn't like people following Jesus.
Both groups wanted to make a plan to get rid of the Lord.
Jesus healed a man with a withered hand explained
This beautiful story shows us Jesus cares about people. The Lord volunteered to heal the man because He knew that the man longed to have a normal hand.
Once he was healed, the man could carry out activities that everyone else with normal hands took for granted.
God is always so good and kind.
