Matthew 12:11-12……Working

12:11 He said to them, ”If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit (Well, ditch.) on the Sabbath, (Saturday. For us The Lord’s Day.) will you not take hold of it and lift it out? (Due to its monetary value. Or will you think there’s not much I can do today?) 12 How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! (Because man is made in the image of God.) Therefore it is lawful (ethical, right) to do good (Show kindness, compassion, mercy.) on the Sabbath.”

Continued From Book

“Even today we’re to put the needs of others first, even if it means missing Church because we’re giving someone a ride to the doctor.” ⇒ To put this in a more modern terms. Lets say your a Pastor on your way to Sunday services and you see a car accident, with a man lying in a ditch. Would you stop and help the person, or would you continue on your way to church, thinking I my congregation is depending on me to be start the service on time, I can’t be late. Or a Church that would gladly spent $10,000 on new sound equipment to make the worship sound better, but spending $10,000 on a program to reach the lost souls in their community would never cross their mind?
