Reaching for God

About this episode

In the face of religious rigidity, Jesus heals a woman long bound by a spirit, showing that the true essence of the Sabbath lies not in strict rules, but in freeing the oppressed and restoring life.

Jesus heals a woman bound by a spirit for eighteen years in the synagogue on the Sabbath, freeing her from pain, while the religious leaders protest, accusing Him of violating the Sabbath law. Jesus rebukes them, reminding the crowd that compassion and setting captives free should be at the heart of God’s day of rest.

Today's Bible verse is Matthew 6:33, from the King James Version.
