Daily Devotions: Facing Down Wrong - March 21, 2026

Luke 6:9–10 (ESV) “And Jesus said to them, ‘I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?’ And after looking around at them all he said to him, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ And he did so, and his hand was restored.”

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall speaks to leaders about a moment everyone in leadership will eventually face: confronting what is wrong. In Luke 6, the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, not to learn from Him but to find something they could accuse Him of. They were looking for a reason to criticize if He healed on the Sabbath.

Jesus did not avoid the situation. He brought the man with the withered hand forward where everyone could see, taught the truth of Scripture, and then asked a direct question: is the Sabbath a day to do good or to do harm? After facing His critics, He commanded the man to stretch out his hand, and it was restored.

Pastor Sumrall reminds leaders that there are times when doing what is right must be done openly. Some people watch leaders only to criticize, but that should never intimidate us into silence or compromise. Jesus showed that truth should be spoken clearly and that right actions should not be hidden. Leaders must be willing to stand for what is right, even when others respond with anger.
