The Jesus Mindset - Jesus and the Religious People


The Jesus Mindset



Jesus and the religious people

Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus. Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he healed all who were ill. – Matthew 12:9-15

·        Jesus preached the Word and affected people’s lives.

·        The religious people continually looked to stop the work of Jesus.

·        Jesus addressed them but continued to do his work.
