Mark 3: A Withered Hand on the Wrong Day
Scripture
Mark 3
A man with a withered hand is in the synagogue, and the question in the room is not whether he can be healed but whether it is the right day for it.
Mark records something rare here: Jesus looked around at them in anger, grieved at their hardness of heart. Anger and grief in the same sentence, directed at people who had the law correct and the person invisible.
It is possible to be exactly right about a rule and completely wrong about a human being standing in front of you. That is not a first-century problem. Ask whether there is anyone your convictions have made you unable to see.
