Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

His enemies were watching him, looking for opportunity to charge him. This wickedness is a shredding of the eighth commandment, for rather than putting the best construction on his actions they condemn him. And so they miss his glory and seal their own fate. Beware, and come to this feast, sitting in the lowest place. Claim no merit, but come in humility. And by this Sacrament you are raised to the highest place, being united to Him who sits at the right hand of God. Sermon for Trinity XVII. The video is here.
