Jesus Came To Set You Free

Introduction
The story of healing this woman is unique to Luke.
It reveals the unfruitfulness of the nation of Israel to which Jesus’ parable of the unfruitful tree alludes (in the previous passage, see 13:6–8).
Instead of finding love, justice, humility, and mercy among God’s people, Jesus found an arrogance that didn’t even allow healing a woman on the Sabbath, the day set aside for the God of mercy.
The Jewish leaders had perverted God’s law so much that they were using it as an excuse to squelch compassion and godliness, instead of as a tool to promote a love of God and others.

Their hypocrisy was evident, and Jesus plainly said so (as he had previously, 12:56).
Jesus exposes the same type of hypocrisy today.
Christians should always be careful to never use religion as an excuse to judge others.
Instead, Christians need to show love and mercy to other people, no matter who they are.

One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit.
She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight.
At this particular time, as Jesus looked over the crowd, he saw a woman who … had been bent double for eighteen years.
The text explains that this was the work of an evil spirit.
She may not have been demon possessed, because a demon didn’t speak and Jesus did not cast out any demon.
Instead, this woman’s painful affliction is attributed to Satan’s work in the world
Jesus had already come into conflict with the religious leaders over how the Sabbath should be used.
He consistently flouted their many laws, one of which was not to work on the Sabbath—meaning, to the Pharisees, not even doing a good deed such as healing a person
Jesus did several things in this instance ...

and clearly he wanted this woman to be set free from this horrible infirmity
