Reflections with Andy - Luke 13: 10-17 - What Correct Doctrine Looks Like

In Luke 13:10–17, Jesus heals a woman who had been crippled for eighteen years, doing so intentionally on the Sabbath to challenge the rigid interpretations of religious law. While the synagogue leader protests, citing Sabbath restrictions, Jesus highlights the hypocrisy of caring for animals on the Sabbath but denying healing to a fellow child of Abraham. This moment underscores that true holiness is not found in strict rule-following but in love—love of God and neighbor. Right belief should lead to right living, and if our theology doesn’t produce love, it misses the heart of God’s law.
