In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus often meets resistance for what he does on the sabbath. In Luke 13, he heals a bent over woman which sparks a debate with the leaders. “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day.” Jesus offers a strong reply which raises the question – what does it mean to live a “sabbath life”? How might “sabbath living” invite us to honor God and one another with our actions each and every day?
