Legalism
New Testament
“Should not this daughter of Abraham have been loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” (Luke 13:10-17)
Jesus heals the bent woman on the Sabbath: choosing mercy over legalism, calling to see and straighten the invisible.
Gospel
“Woe to you, Pharisees! Woe to you also, teachers of the law!” (Luke 11:42-46)
From Lk 11:42-46 to Jn 10:27: convert prestige into presence, lighten the rules, listen to the voice of Christ and carry the burdens together.
Old Testament
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.”
Exodus 20:2-3: God reveals himself as liberator before imposing the law. This first commandment transforms the slave into a free son, calling for exclusivity that restores dignity.
