Our divine Master healed men every day of the week; from the first day even to the close of the seventh day, he went about doing good, and healing all manner of diseases. The healing virtue did not flow from him occasionally, but perpetually. It was not like that famous pool which was only now and then touched with the angel’s wing, and so made salutary to the sick folk lying around; but whoever stepped into the pool of Christ’s mercy found healing at any hour of the day or night.
The Lord Jesus frequently made the Sabbath to be a high day of grace and blessing. There was, I suppose, something about that day that led him more specially to display his great power upon it; or, probably, he felt bound to meet the superstition of the Pharisees, and he met it by a flood-tide of mercy upon that day to the sons of men.
