Blessings folk!

We return to Mark…(now with a better understanding of Godhead… )

Jesus has an encounter with the Pharisees over the Sabbath, the first of many.

Read…

Note what day it is?
What was the action?
Who was involved?
What were they doing?

Mar 2:23-28

And it happened that He was passing through the grainfields on the Sabbath,
and His disciples began to make their way along while picking the heads of grain.

The Pharisees were saying to Him,
“Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

And He said to them,“Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?”

Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

“So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

It was the Sabbath.

The day of which the Lord has said…

Exo 20:8

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Man had taken that commandment and added a plethora of rules and regulations attempting to define the “keeping of the Sabbath”.

One such rule related to “work” on the Sabbath.

Jesus’ disciples were hungry.
They were picking a field for a snack.

The Pharisees saw it.
Interesting.
All through the gospels we see the Pharisees lurking about, usually seeking to entrap Jesus.
Do not be surprised that they do the same to you.

How did Jesus respond? You saw.
We will look at it tomorrow.

For today, know that the modern Pharisee, the Religionists, will seek to entrap us with the freedom and liberty that we have in the Lord.

Let us learn from the Lord as to how to handle them.
