Luke 6:7-11
7 So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him. 8 But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. 9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?” 11 But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
When religious rule following is made into a witch hunt, devoid of mercy and love, it is actually an accusation against the judges, not the violator. Jesus did good when man's rules said good was evil; those living with rules alone were driven by rage and vengeful murder, not love as the two greatest commandments that overrule all others say... We must live by grace, guided by His word.
