10 One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, 11 he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” 13 Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God! (Luke 13:10-13 NLT)
It was the Sabbath, the Day of Rest. But there was a crippled woman suffering and in need of help. Jesus saw her, called her and healed her. This was a simple act of compassion.
If we are going to follow Jesus' lead, when we see someone in need and we can do something about it, we need to do it, despite what other people may say. (That issue comes in the next part of Luke 13.)
