Quoting from Eugene Peterson's The Message:'One Sabbath day he was walking through a field of ripe grain. As his disciples made a path, they pulled off heads of grain. The Pharisees told on them to Jesus: "Look, your disciples are breaking Sabbath rules!"
Jesus said, "Really? Haven't you ever read what David did when he was hungry, along with those who were with him? How he entered the sanctuary and ate fresh bread off the altar, with the Chief Priest Abiathar right there watching--holy bread that no one but priests were allowed to eat--and handed it out to his companions?" Then Jesus said, "The Sabbath was made to serve us; we weren't made to serve the Sabbath. The Son of Man is no lackey to the Sabbath. He's in charge!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Clifton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: December 12, 2004 11:15 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Trial of Christ > Bill Taylor wrote: > > >Terry wrote, "if the law says no work on the Sabbath, and He worked on the > >Sabbath, what am I missing?" > > > > > >It would seem that I am misunderstanding you, either that or perhaps you are > >missing a fairly significant point.
