Mark 3:5 - Additional Comments

Eph 4:26 tells us to be angry and yet do not sin. We see Jesus doing that here. But we need to be careful justifying anger, because "the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God" (James 1:20). While Jesus' anger is a righteous anger, rarely is ours righteous.
Jesus was grieved by the hardness of their hearts, as He grieves over ours. How many times have we heard a truth for our lives, and felt a little pinch of our conscience, but then walk away and nothing has changed? I picture Jesus calling us as He did the man with the withered hand, "Come here", and we either don't here, or ignore the voice. I picture those who've made a commitment to meet with Jesus, and Jesus waits patiently in the study room while we rush by.
Guys, if your wife tells you to take the trash out several times, you have a choice - either take the trash out, or harden your heart against the requests. How do we avoid a hard heart with God? Follow Him when He calls us.
There are 2 ways that God provides healing - He may miraculously physically transform someone, or He may work in circumstances. Both are God's intervention, and both are miracles. Today we may rarely if ever see physical transformations, but God regularly works to guide circumstances. Typically in the New Testament we see God doing physical and instant transformations, as in this case. What would it have been like to watch this person's hand go from withered to normal?
