“Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”
And he laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and
glorified Elohim - Luke 13:12b -13
“ Then the Master answered him and said, ‘Hypocrite!
Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the
stall, and lead it away to water it?’” -Luke 13:15
Yehoshua had just set a woman free who had been bound with a spirit of
infirmity for eighteen years (see Luke 13:11). The ruler of the synagogue, did not appreciate Yehoshua breaking “their” Sabbath laws. (Luke 13:14). We know that
Moses did give the Commandment from Yehovah to keep the Sabbath, as we read in the
Scriptures (Exodus 20:8) and other passages. However Yehovah never gave a commandment to forbid
doing good, and especially not to heal
on the Sabbath! How could He give such Command? He was the Healer!
Therefore, that was a religious leaders' takanot and man is not supposed to obey those rabbinic rules. Yehoshua was Yehovah in the Flesh, and He certainly knew His own Word. He would not break His Commandments for by doing so He would have been lawless, and could not be our substitute on the Cross.

Another day Yehoshua healed again a man with a
dropsy on the Sabbath and again the religious leaders rebuked Him (Luke 14: 1-2) And
Yeshua answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to
heal on the Sabbath?”- Luke 14:3.
In
the next verse we read that they kept silent.
“And He took Him and healed him, and let him go. Then He answered them, saying,
“Which of you, having a donkey or an ox
that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath
day?” And they could not answer Him regarding these things” - Luke 14:4-6.
He always had to deal with religious
rules. He did not need anyone to teach Him, but their eyes were closed. Yehovah knew this before He sent His Son,
because if all the children of Israel had received Him, they would have crowned
Him King, and He would not have fulfilled His mission of becoming our Lamb of
Elohim (John 1:29), who came to die for
our sins.
Yehoshua
spoke about their duties to their donkeys. If their donkey fell into the ditch
on the Sabbath they would certainly pull him out of it. Therefore
what was their problem? Was a donkey more important than healing a sick person?
Yes, to them it was!
Saving the donkey meant to save the way to
transport their harvest, which meant money! In
the same fashion today, it matters so much more saving the wild life above their own child in the womb! Children are now no longer important,
therefore let us kill them! Yes, we can carry them in our womb even to the
point of giving birth, but, eh, why not, let us murder the innocent! God will not care, in fact, does He really
exist? Whose Elohim (God) are those people serving?
Are you one of those people? I do not think so, or you would not be reading
this message. Yehovah bless you.
The
Shabbat, or Sabbath, instead of be a day of rest unto Yehovah as He commands, because
of their many rules it became a
challenge to all. If you read the gospels you will notice that He always healed on the Sabbath and
every day of the week. What would happen
if you would be deadly ill, and you cry out to Yehovah to heal you on the
Sabbath, but He would deny your request because it is not His day to heal? What
would you think of Him? Do not worry, it will not happen. Yehovah
answers you no matter what day, and no matter what time it is.
While
I am talking about this situation you may say to me, “Well, this does not concern
me at all. I do not keep the Sabbath.”
If you do not keep the Sabbath you are not keeping His Commandments. To rest on
the Sabbath day is one of the Ten Commandments, and Yehovah never changed His mind about it. So,
what are you going to do about this? Are you going to keep the religious rules
of your church or congregation that you belong too, or obey Yehovah? I hope that you choose to love
and obey only Yehovah, and disregard the false teachings or your pastors and teachers. You are responsible to
obey His Word, for it is by His Word that you will be judged.
