In today's Gospel reading, we see Jesus being criticized for performing a miracle on the Sabbath by people who were hypocritical. It's not the only instance where people questioned the goodness and faithfulness of Jesus while being too rigid in their interpretation of the law. They were so caught up in the literal interpretation of the law that they failed to see the greatness and goodness of Jesus' actions.
Sometimes, we also tend to focus too much on the letter of the law and forget the most important parts of God's law, which are to love God and love our neighbor. We often neglect these two crucial commandments.
Let us pray that we can always be filled with the spirit of God's law and strive to be messengers of God's love and kindness in our world.
