MATTHEW 12 PT 2 HEALING ON THE SABBATH

 9. AND WHEN HE WAS DEPARTED THENCE, HE WENT INTO THEIR SYNOGOGUE:  AND , BEHOLD, THERE WAS A MAN WHICH HAD HIS HAND WITHERED, AND THEY ASKED HIM , SAYING IS IT LAWFUL TO HEAL ON THE SABBATH DAYS? THAT THEY MIGHT ACCUSE HIM. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT MAN SHALL THERE BE AMONG YOU, THAT SHALL HAVE ONE SHEEP, AND IF IT FALL INTO A PIT ON THE SABBATH DAY, WILL HE NOT LAY HOLD ON IT, AND LIFT IT OUT? HOW MUCH THEN IS A MAN BETTER THAN A SHEEP?  WHEREFORE IT IS LAWFUL TO DO WELL ON THE SABBATH DAYS. 

THEN SAITH HE TO THE MAN, STRETCH FORTH THINE HAND. AND IT WAS RESTORED WHOLE, LIKE AS THE OTHER. WHEN THE PHARISEES WENT OUT, AND HELD COUNCIL AGAINST HIM, HOW THEY MIGHT DESTROY HIM. BUT WHEN JESUS KNEW IT, HE WITHDREW HIMSELF FROM THENCE: AND GREAT MULTITUDES FOLLOWED HIM, AND HE HEALED THEM ALL; AND CHARGED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD NOT MAKE HIM KNOWN: THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY ESAIAS THE PROPHET SAYING, BEHOLD MY SERVANT , WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN: MY BELOVED IN WHOM MY SOUL IS WELL PLEASED: I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL SHEW JUDGEMENT TO THE GENTILES. HE SHALL NOT STRIVE, NOR CRY; NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS. A BRUISED REED SHALL HE NOT QUENCH, TILL HE SEND FORTH JUDGEMENT UNTO VICTORY.

WE HAVE VICTORY IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB1 ALL PRAISES BE TO THE KING OF KINGS. AREN'T YOU GLAD THAT WE ARE REDEEMED THROUGH THE GREAT LION OF JUDAH WHO WAS AND IS TO COME. WE GIVE HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. THE ALPHA AND OMEGA. FATHER MAY YOU ENLARGE OUR TERRITORIES AND ORDER OUR STEPS DEAR, LORD. LEAD US GUIDE US EVERYDAY.
