Jesus vs. Judaism (or just plain ol’ human nature?) | Rev. David Pileggi

On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus healed a crippled women on the Sabbath which resulted in a clash with a synagogue official. At first glance this might seem to be just another encounter between Jesus and the religious authorities. Yet when viewed in its historic context, this incident may have more to do with human nature than just a theological issue and it demonstrates the subtle danger of letting our personalities, traditions politics or current culture, obstruct God's redemptive kingship.
