About this message

Asked whether it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath, Jesus' opponents stay silent, then leave to plot His death. Bogdan Pishtoy walks through the healing of the man with the withered hand in Mark 3. In three scenes he shows the marks of a hardened heart: accusing, apathetic and murderous. He notes that Jesus' anger is joined with grief, and closes with Psalm 103 and the call not to harden your heart.

For anyone who hears God's truth and feels nothing.
