They Didn't Lift A Finger


In today's Gospel (Luke11:42~46), Jesus tells the Pharisees that they did not lift a finger to touch the people, but rather imposed burdens on them.
Jesus not only lifted a finger to touch us~ He lifted a cross. He didn't burden us, but took our burdens upon Himself.
Thank You, Jesus for loving us.
Thank You for Your Cross that relieves us and saves us from our sins and burdens.
Thank You for touching us with Your precious Body and Blood.

Amen!

Karinann, The first time I read in the Bible that Jesus prays for us got my attention. Isn't that precious to know that HE prays for us and is the High Priest?

HIS name is wonderful!!!

Thank you, Karin, this is lovely! I swear this is one of the things that God is always trying to correct in human nature - We are prone to heaping unnecessary burdens on one another. As if following a strict and legalistic set of rules can make one holy! He showed us the law of love instead. Love puts things in their proper perspective so we won't become pharisaical about religion or our spiritual lives.

Thanks for your insight on this one Mary. So true that while the letter of the law is important, without its spirit it becomes Pharisaical.
