Sabbath. Simple, Right? part 3.
Quick Review:
How are you observing Sabbath lately?
Jesus observed the Sabbath, according to Luke 4:16 — He came to Nazareth where he had been raised. As he always did on the Sabbath, he went to synagogue.
Jesus said that keeping Sabbath was not a duty that people owed to God. He spun it around and taught that God made the Sabbath as a day of rest for humanity’s benefit — The Sabbath was made to serve us; we weren’t made to serve the Sabbath. (Mark 2:27)
Today:
Jesus and those closest to him didn’t exactly follow the strict Jewish rules about not doing any work on the Sabbath. For example, pick one or more of the following: Matthew 12:1-14, Mark 2:23-28, 3:1-6, Luke 6:1-11, 13:10-17, 14:1-6, John 5:1-18.
Sabbath. Simple, right?
See you back here next Sunday.
