Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, "Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity." 13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, "There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day."
15 The Lord then answered him and said, "Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?" 17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him. (Luke 13:10-17)
In this passage, we see the religious leader assert that only six days are for healing, much like the church systems now assert that God only heals/saves through these first six thousand years since the fall. But Jesus healed multiple times on the Sabbath, and indeed asserted that it was a natural day for healing to take place. I am convinced that we shall find that the coming age shall also turn out to be a most natural "day" for God to continue to heal mankind upon!
PS - sorry about the bolding. For some reason the bold button does not work properly for me, but bolds without reference to my whims or desires!
:iagree: :thumbsup: I think the millennium will be a great day of healing! And thus joy and rejoicing. I also think judgment day will be a great day of much healing as things continue to make their way towards Yahweh, God of Love, being "all in all" / the total ruling force.. (Love. Love which cannot help but "heal".)
How sad the religious/spiritual leaders were unhappy that a poor lady who'd been doubled over for eighteen years, was healed.. No matter what day! Instead of rejoicing..

I.M.O highlights the work to be all from Christ in every detail; emphasizing the grace to come exceeding the limitations of the flesh which is currently under bondage to the law. Those leaders still under the law have not yet been shown the changes implemented by Christ.

Amen! "Every detail" and the sabbath healings to come, not yet understood by so many.. will knock all our socks off!
I think this is a great point, Shev.
Healing is for all times and places, because love never fails.
Thank you.

13And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, "Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them."... THESE ARE IN CHRIST AND CHRIST IS DOING THE PERFECT WORKS OF THE FATHER though them saving those whom are drawn to the LIGHT IN CHRIST .as the beast is in darkness and gnawing its tongue for pain [vanity and fruitless labours ]

Romans 13:12
The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
changing the carnal mind of death and defeat and its wisdom of the world to the mind of Christ , that is totally obedient to the will and desires of the LIVING GOD and all things are His inheritance ...
God is not very far from any of us [ACTS 17] from the unknown God to the Knowing GOD IN ALL HIS GLORY without end ....
