Jesus’ miracles, including healing the man with the withered hand, demonstrate His compassion and power to restore not just physically but spiritually.
The healing of the man with the withered hand illustrates that Jesus is deeply concerned with human suffering. In Luke 6:6-11, the response of Jesus to the man’s need underscores the principle that Christ uses circumstances of hardship to reveal His mercy. The man's disability only sets the stage for a demonstration of healing, emphasizing that Jesus transforms our weaknesses into opportunities for divine grace. Moreover, this healing reflects the broader gospel message of sovereign grace, where Christ not only empowers people to obey Him but renews them wholly. Jesus’ commands come with the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, affirming that He heals not just physical ailments but also the brokenhearted.
