1 Now it happened [a]on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands. 2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”
3 But Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?” 5 And He said to them, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him. 8 But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. 9 Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or [b]to destroy?” 10 And when He had looked around at them all, He said to [c]the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored [d]as whole as the other. 11 But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

Scripture Union Daily Guide – 25 January 2026 | OUTLINE
Jesus regularly confronted the religious leaders over their views on the traditions and regulations of men. One of such was their rules on observance of the Sabbath without regard for the Lord of the Sabbath. Are there ways we behave like these leaders in our Christian circles today (Luke 6:6-7; Matthew 15:8). For the Pharisees, Jesus did not fit into their religious mould, and this made them not to accept Him or His teachings. We may also disregard Christ today because of the same reason. Read Luke 6:3-5 and 1 Samuel 21:1-6 and highlight the lessons inherent there. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath because He instituted it and therefore He knows its intended purpose to man.
The struggle over what it means to keep the Sabbath holy surfaced again in the healing of this man with a shrivelled hand (Luke 6:7). Notice the wisdom Jesus applied to silence these religious leaders (Luke 6:8-9). Are there any practices in our denominations and fellowship groups that we need to test with Jesus’ question in Luke 6:9? We cannot afford to adhere to a set of rules and regulations that seeks to neglect the needs of the people around us.

HYMN: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE
1.Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2.Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3.Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my king.
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
4.Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5.Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.
6.Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

I thank you, God, for the freedom we have in your Son, Christ Jesus.
