I love that Jesus sets people free. In Luke 13:10, he is teaching in the synagogue on the sabbath (the seventh day of the week) when he noticed a woman who had been crippled for 18 years. Jesus told her that she was set free from her sickness... but the leaders of the Synagogue were angry with Jesus. According to their tradition, it was wrong to do any work, even if it helped people, on the sabbath.
Even though they wanted to force Jesus to live and love their way, he refused... He helped people even when the rules apposed such help.
It is really crazy to think of how many people were appalled and dissappointed with who Jesus was.
They seemed to think that even the good things people do have to be done according to their method.
Sometimes I think we do the same thing today... we make rules about what we think is proper... then forget that we made the rule instead of Jesus....
