Imagine for a moment the joy you would feel if someone you had been praying for —for eighteen years—had suddenly and miraculously been healed. You would be rejoicing alongside them, right? So why did the synagogue ruler have a problem rejoicing instead of rebuking Jesus when He freed the woman from the evil spirit that had crippled her for years? The synagogue ruler was so caught up in the rules they were told by God to follow that he missed their point. He could not appreciate the miracle that Jesus preformed because he was so fixated on the actual rules themselves.
