Today’s Gospel speaks about the understanding of the
Sabbath. The Jews had a very different understanding about the Sabbath or they
followed the Sabbath very radically and literally. On this day Jesus went a
step beyond this understanding by healing the sick.
We keep all our work aside on Sunday, can we also keep a
good deed which can be done aside on this day.
For instance, the government hospitals and private hospitals
have a holiday and on this day if patients who are serious come to the
hospital, can we leave them. Jesus also asked the people a question in the same
line : “ Is it against the law on Sabbath day to do good or to do evil, to save
life or to kill?”
So we too can ask ourselves that what we do saves a life or
destroys it.
