We
are very particular on following the law without looking at the human person.
The law serves the people not the other way around. Hypocrisy abounds when we
uses the law as an excuse against building up someone. How can healing be
against the law on a Sabbath? How can a doctor says, I will attend to you
tomorrow because today is a rest day, even though the person is already
suffering much and in need of immediate medical attention? No, God established
the Sabbath so we can have time to reflect upon the word and work of the Lord
so we can practice it ourselves. We have to practice our faith. Faith without
work is dead says the Letter of St. James. If untying oxen and ass on a Sabbath
is allowed and if eating and drinking is allowed which both requires labor, how
much more untying someone from the bondage of physical disabilities and sin? The
human person is more important to Him than the law. Thank God, someone like
Jesus values us more than any other legality.
Teach
us O Lord to value our fellowmen more than any other legality. Amen.
