5. Can’t You See What
Love Has Done?
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17

6. 10 Now he was teaching in one of the
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
synagogues on the Sabbath.

7. 11 And behold, there was a woman who
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
had a disabling spirit for eighteen years.
She was bent over and could not fully
straighten herself.

8. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
over…

9. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
over and said to her, “Woman, you are
freed from your disability.” 13 And he
laid his hands on her, and immediately
she was made straight, and she glorified
God.

10. 14 But the ruler of the synagogue,
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
indignant because Jesus had healed
on the Sabbath, said….

11. 14 But the ruler of the synagogue,
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
indignant because Jesus had healed
on the Sabbath, said to the people,
“There are six days in which work ought
to be done. Come on those days and
be healed and not on the Sabbath day.”

12. 15 Then the Lord answered him, “You
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
hypocrites!

13. 15 Then the Lord answered him, “You
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
hypocrites! Does not each of you on the
Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from
the manger and lead it away to water it?

14. 16 “And ought not this woman, a daugh-
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
her of Abraham whom Satan bound for
eighteen years, be loosed from this bond
on the Sabbath day?”

15. 17 As he said these things, all his adver-
The Gospel of Luke 13:10-17
series were put to shame, and all the
people rejoiced at all the glorious things
that were done by him.

by his cruelty,
Jesus will undo
by his compassion.
HT: Phillip Ryken

19. The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat that’s in the Sun
Will keep us when there’s none
The rule has been disproved
The stone it has been moved
The grave is now a groove
All debts are removed

20. Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
What it’s doing to me?
~ U2’s “Window in the Sky”

21. Application:
Which person am I more like?

22. To every broken heart
For every heart that cares
Love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
What it’s doing to me?
~ U2’s “Window in the Sky”
