May 26, Daily Scripture

Mark 3 talks about how Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and healed a man's deformed hand.  The Pharisees were watching him closely to accuse him of working on the Sabbath, if he healed the man's hand they would accuse him of working.  Jesus then said in verse 4 "Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or destroy it?" 

If healing the man's hand was doing a good deed, then not healing his hand would be doing evil.  I think this is a reminder to us to not pass up opportunities to do good work for the Lord.  If we see an opportunity and pass it up, are we doing evil?
