Ep. 50: Which is lawful?

MATTHEW 12:1-21, MARK 2:23-3:6, LUKE 6:1-11

Jesus went out of his way to upset the religious authorities by healing a man … on the Sabbath day, which went against their man-made laws. Jesus posed them a question, is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? He may have broken their ‘law’, but, by doing so, he had restored a life. He also reminded them that the Son of Man (i.e. him) is Lord of the Sabbath.

Sabbath is a good thing. Being bound up in rules and regulations is not a good thing. True Sabbath rest is what it says on the tin, a day of rest, not a day of worrying which of the 000s of rules created you may have wilfully or accidentally broken!

A true Sabbath rest is a good thing. As such, perhaps it is time we started thinking about it in our lives?
