 JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 9: THE RISING STORM 1. Key Texts• John 5:1–47—Healing at the Pool of Bethesda and ensuing controversy• Mark 2:23–28—Grainfield incident and “Lord of the Sabbath”• Luke 6:6–11—Healing on the Sabbath in the synagogue• Exodus 20:8–11; Deuteronomy 5:12–15—Sabbath law background• Isaiah 58—True worship: justice and mercy over ritual2. Outline / NotesDate & Place• Spring 28 AD—Jesus’ second Passover since going public.• Jerusalem, packed with tens of thousands of pilgrims, soldiers, and priests.• Atmosphere: charged, political, volatile—the perfect storm for confrontation.Main Account• Jesus heals a man at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5).– The man had been paralyzed 38 years and didn’t even ask to be healed.– Jesus commands: “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”– The healing happens on the Sabbath, triggering immediate outrage.• The religious leaders accuse Jesus of violating Sabbath law.– Jesus replies: “My Father is always at work, and I too am working.”– A claim to divine authority—working alongside God Himself.– They begin plotting to kill him.• Soon after, disciples pluck grain on the Sabbath (Mark 2:23–28).– Jesus defends them with the story of David eating the consecrated bread.– Declares: “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”• Later, he heals a man with a withered hand inside a synagogue (Mark 3:1–6).– Asks: “Which is lawful on the Sabbath—to do good or evil, to save life or to kill?”– Heals the man publicly, exposing their hypocrisy.• This sequence escalates opposition—Pharisees and Herodians begin plotting together.Meanwhile• Sabbath = symbol of covenant identity and control.• By redefining Sabbath, Jesus reclaims divine authority from those misusing it.• Each act is both compassionate and confrontational—mercy as revolution.• Jesus’ question, “Who really speaks for God?” now divides the crowds.• The storm of resistance begins to build; from this point, there’s no going back.3. Main Point• Jesus wasn’t careless—he was deliberate.• He entered the strongholds of power to expose how religion had become a tool of exclusion.• The Lord of the Sabbath doesn’t abolish God’s law; he restores its heart: compassion, justice, and freedom.• Following him means confronting systems—religious, political, or personal—that keep others bound.4. Exegetical Insight• John 5:17—ho patēr mou heōs arti ergazetai kagō ergazomai—“My Father is working… and I am working.” A claim of divine partnership.• Mark 2:28—kyrios estin tou sabbatou ho huios tou anthrōpou—“The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”• Sabbath in Hebrew (shabbat) = “cease, rest”; Jesus reframes it as restoration and release.• Each healing acts out Isaiah 58: true worship is liberation, not legalism.5. Reflection Questions• Where in your faith or community might “rules” have replaced compassion?• What systems—church, political, personal—would Jesus challenge if he walked in today?• Are you clinging to control or open to confrontation for the sake of liberation?• What might “Sabbath” look like if it centered on restoration instead of regulation?6. Action Step / Challenge• Identify one “system” or habit in your life that excludes, limits, or controls others.• Ask: “If Jesus walked in, would he overturn this—or use it to bring healing?”• This week, take one step to turn your faith outward—toward freedom, not fear.7.
