What Made Jesus Mad? #4 – The Rules

What Made Jesus Mad?  #4 – The Rules 

Pastor Blake Hanson | 5.14.25 

Let rules your relationship with Jesus, not it. 

Mark 3:1–6 (NLT)

1 Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand. 

2 Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus’ enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath. 

3 Jesus said to the man with the deformed hand, “Come and stand in front of everyone.” 

4 Then he turned to his critics and asked, “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 to destroy it?” But they wouldn’t answer him. 

5 He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored! 

6 At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.

WHEN IT COMES TO RULES… 

Live by rules that lead to growth in you and toward others. 

If you decide to break the rules, do it with the of Jesus. 

Luke 13:10–14 (NIV)

10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, 

11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 

12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” 

13 Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. 

14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”

Luke 13:15–16 (KJV 1900)

15The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

Realize chooses rules, chooses compassion. 

Galatians 5:13–14 (NLT)

13 For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. 

14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
