“And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things there were done by him” (Luke 13:17).
After Jesus put a Jewish leader in his place, his enemies were put to shame. Then the people rejoiced. It all started with the healing of “Miss Liberty.” Consider the following words from our study writer:
“What about you and the ones you love? Are there physical or emotional disabilities that weigh you down, leaving you discouraged and frustrated and dreading the future? Your load may not be as obvious as Liberty’s, but you find it hard to look up from under the weight. You have tried to pull yourself out of it and raise yourself up, but still you are bent over. What do you do? Every situation is different, so there are no simplistic answers. But the starting place is always the same. Bring it to Jesus.”
