Sermon
Luke 13:10-13 -v10 - One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, v11 - He saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. v12 - When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, "Woman you are healed of your sickness!" v13 - Then He touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised and thanked God!
Subject - "Love Lifted Me"
- This is the last time Jesus taught in a synagogue.
- People love systems and rules more than they do people.
- With Jesus, people come before systems and rules.
- There is spirit full wickedness in high places.
- Jesus did not want the woman to suffer a moment longer.
- Had the woman heard that Jesus would be at the synagogue? Was she looking for a miracle? Had the woman tried other remedies?
- Do we notice the infirmities of other? Do we care? We should!
- Yes, Jesus cared and so should we.
- The least, the lost and the last, Jesus had an affinity for.
- Look unto God, the author and the finisher.
