In this sermon reflect on Jesus who on the Sabbath healed a woman who had been hunched over for eighteen years. We consider why the synagogue official had a problem with this, why he shouldn’t have had a problem with this, and what it all has to do with Sabbath, which is about way more than taking a day off to crash at the end of otherwise frenzied week, but that which touches every moment of our lives. We consider how our rituals become pointless when they are disconnected from the deeper meaning. We are, then, invited into the deeper meaning of Sabbath, which is an endless joy and delight in God and all that God has made.
