Christ and the Sabbath
J. B. Lister. Mark 3:1-5 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.… They watched Him with an evil eye. Not to understand but to bring accusation against Him. I. THE WORLD WATCHED THE SAVIOUR; THE WORLD WATCHES THE SAVIOUR'S DISCIPLES. "No man liveth to himself." The eye of the world is always on the Church, on every disciple, just as it was on the Church's and the disciples' Lord. What a lesson of circumspection this should read! II. THE SAVIOUR DID GOOD ON THE SABBATH DAY; IT IS THE DUTY OF HIS DISCIPLES TO DO GOOD. Did men expect that He would be held within the stone walls of Jewish ceremonialism? (J. B. Lister.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
