MONDAY- 30th WEEK IN ORDINARY
TIME –A
Gospel: Luke 13: 10-17: This woman,
a daughter of Abraham-was it not right to untie her bonds on the Sabbath day?
I Reading: Romans 8:12-17: The Spirit
you received is the spirit of sons, and it makes us cry out, “Abba, Father!”
People vs. Religion: Which is more
important? Lk 13:10-17
We should not place any religion before human’s real
need. Every human person is very important and above all things in the world.
Jesus met the needs of the woman who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen
years and He healed her completely on Sabbath day.
1. Jesus taught in the Synagogue on the Sabbath (v.10)
2. The woman was a worshipper of God (v.11-13)
a. She was worshipping
b. She had a curvature of the spine
c. She was seen and called by Jesus
d. She received Jesus’ word and touch
e. She glorified God first
3. The ruler (religionist) was a worshipper of God
(v.14-16)
a. He became angry with the people
b. He corrupted God’s word
c. He rejected Christ
d. He was hypocritical
1) He placed
animals above people
2) He placed
religion above people
4. The effect of Jesus’ works and words (v.17)
a. The opponents: were humiliated
b. The crowds: Rejoiced
Thought: Jesus was worshipping on the Sabbath, doing exactly what He
should have been doing. She sought to draw near the Lord for deliverance,
whereas the man only practiced his ceremony and ritual.
