How to Really Honor God: A Lesson in Compassion
The sermon “How to Really Honor God” explores the account of Jesus healing a disabled woman in Luke 13:10-17. Despite 18 years of suffering, Jesus restores her health on the Sabbath, sparking criticism from a synagogue leader. This powerful moment teaches that honoring God is about showing compassion and meeting the needs of others, even when societal or religious rules suggest otherwise.
Dr. Rob White challenges us to reflect on our priorities, encouraging us to embrace grace, humanity, and understanding. He highlights that Jesus prioritized people over rigid interpretations of the law, demonstrating that love and kindness are timeless expressions of honoring God.
The story urges us to assess how we might resemble the synagogue leader, rigid in our beliefs, and invites us to adopt Jesus’ perspective of compassion. By doing so, we can grow in faith and reflect Christ’s love in our daily interactions.
