Mark 3:1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
Those who are now tasked with repairing the breach of the 4th commandment, must not themselves be found making new breaches. And they must have an intelligent knowledge of what is at stake, while at the same time, practicing the truth given as the last call to earth’s inhabitants. The words Well/Good can mean a number of things depending on whether the persons in question are sincerely seeking to please the Lord.
Or, whether they are looking for loopholes to avoid rendering to God, the things which are God’s. God is a Spirit, and the motives and deep purposes of the heart are brought into the equation when He has to evaluate our actions. In the very same Bible, you will read of apparently conflicting passages, but when they are studied line upon line, precept upon precept, the beauty, and harmony of the Bible will be made manifest.
We are not to bring any private interpretation to the study of God’s word, instead, we are to let the Bible speak authoritatively for itself, correcting instructing and guiding us as the case may warrant. Even if you may not like the Biblical interpretation or it might rub you the wrong way, it’s better to leave it alone intact, instead of twisting and turning it to suit our various preferences.
Mark 3:3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. 4 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.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
