Doing what is right not what is popular
Matthew 12:9-15 “And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: And behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days? That they might accuse him. And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days. Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. (See also Mark 3:1-6 and Luke 6: 6 – 11)
Jesus did what He was here to do, heal. In this case, it was not popular. Parents have to do what is best for their children not what is popular with the children. Employ
