Nevertheless: Jesus

Jesus faced a lot of opposition from the Jewish religious establishment in Jerusalem, and here they clash verbally over Sabbath law interpretations in the field, and Jesus tries to take them to school over the same subject while preparing to heal a man’s withered hand in a synagogue. That was also on a Sabbath, perhaps the same day as in the field! Rev. Lanford lifts up at the end how the opposition faced by Jesus has a parallel in our discipleship through the world making it hard to be a person devoted to agape love, forgiveness, justice and compassion. The Spirit in Jesus taking on the Pharisees lives on in His followers facing hardship, thanks to God. Listen in! Please hit subscribe if you like what you've heard!!
