In this episode, we turn to Mark 3 and explore the moment Jesus healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath. This act of grace exposed the hardness of human hearts bound by religion rather than compassion. Pastor Rains reflects on how Christ’s anger and sorrow at spiritual blindness reveal both His holiness and His mercy. The message reminds us that true rest and righteousness are found not in rule-keeping but in surrendering to the heart of God—where His grace never ceases to work.

Mark 3:1–6; Matthew 12:9–14; Luke 6:6–11
