Note Card: Putting a Child's Eyes on Luke 6

Written on a 4x6 note card by Stan Julin.

[Blog Author's Note:  My father comments on the story found in Luke 6:6-11.  My dad loved simple truths, and as a tool for understanding scripture, he sometimes attempted to look at a passage through a child's eyes.]

A child in the synagogue where and when Jesus cured a man with a withered hand would have been unable to understand what was wrong with Jesus healing the man, in spite of any amount of attempted justification of opposition to it.  Surely the law in its nature and intent was as Jesus said, and the child would have been completely bewildered by the condemnation of that wonderful event.
