Today’s gospel is on the Sabbath observation. The Pharisees and Scribes were watching closely the actions of Jesus in order to find fault with Him. They presented themselves to be in good intentions but their inner self was with full of deceit. Jesus realized their intensions and acted to make them realize the true meaning of Sabbath.
A grown up persons can, to a certain extent, could cover up their true intensions of mind and act in a different way. There is a saying “a gentle man is the one who thinks one thing and does another”. Sometimes the children tell lies in order to please their parents but it is easy for the pageants to understand their children’s mind from their face since they are so innocent. We are the children of God and we cannot hide anything from his Supreme Knowledge.
Jesus is more concerned with our intensions. We can never cheat Jesus Christ who knows us better than what we know about ourselves. It is a call to purify our inner most thoughts. We may have a good looking appearance and praise worthy words and actions, but what about our inner thoughts and intensions. Am I like whitewashed tomb?
