Scribes and Pharisees became enraged when Jesus cured a man’s withered hand on the Sabbath, even though they could have said not to do it when He asked. Jesus promised blessings for people dispirited, sad, hungry, or hated because of Him. Those who say, “Who needs Him?” turn away from His help! Doing to others what we would want done to us seems fair enough. When treated in unjust ways, we may still find it hard not to hope that wrongdoers will get what they deserve. Jesus provided a huge challenge in telling His followers to love enemies and answer hatefulness with goodness. Do we try to work things out mercifully, with the Lord beside us as a personal trainer?
