—Matthew 12:1-14

Jesus knew that He would be accused by the Pharisees for healing on the Sabbath. This did not stop Him from making a man’s hand whole again. Jesus was not concerned about the opinions of others, because He knew that God desires us to be merciful on the Sabbath (as well as every other day). We should follow Christ’s example and not hesitate to meet a need when we know the Holy Spirit is calling us to help another person. How can we show God’s love and mercy to the people around us this Sabbath?
