He did address it. He was wrong. The command to keep the sabbath had no exceptions, for good works or any other endeavor. If it had, the Pharisees would not have been upset by Jesus healing repeatedly on that day.
Jesus could have put off His healings until Sunday. The beneficiaries of His goodness had been the way they were for a long time. One more day would not have mattered, but Jesus DELIBERATELY healed on the sabbath, and picked grain on the sabbath, to show what a loving God intended. The sabbath was made to give man a break, not to enslave him. According to the Pharisees, you had no option. According to Jesus, based on what He said and the example He set, you do have an option. I choose to follow Jesus. How 'bout you?

Terry, Did you actually read what he wrote before you asked this question. I thought he already addressed this issue quite well. Izzy

If Jesus had ever sinned, He cpuld not have been the sinless sacrifice required to satisfy God, the father.
Jesus worked on the Sabbath, and was not a sinner. That tells me that working on the sabbath is not a sin. Others will no doubt see it differently, but my Lord said that man was not made for the sabbath.

TT: Here is a website that I agree with regarding Sabbath-keeping: http://www.newwine.org/Sabbath3/Grace_b.htm. What do you think about it? Izzy
