Bent and bound no longer

In Luke 13:10-17, the two main characters are a woman bent over by physical infirmity, and a synagogue leader bent out of shape by rigid adherence to rules. The woman was able to receive healing from Jesus, but the synagogue leader was humiliated. Jesus delighted in freeing the woman from the bondage of her physical condition. He freed her to become the person God created her to be. Pastor Barbara Moyer Lehman also said that healing came to the community in this story, as they saw the power of God transcending the rules humans created. We all have areas where we need healing. Pastor Barbara offered a time for our congregation to seek healing through a time of anointing.
