Jesus breaks the Law... because HE is the law fulfilled

Garth Heckman The David Alliance [email protected]          Mark 2  23 One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through some grainfields, his disciples began breaking off heads of grain to eat. 24 But the Pharisees said to Jesus, “Look, why are they breaking the law by harvesting grain on the Sabbath?” 25 Jesus said to them, “Haven’t you ever read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 26 He went into the house of God (during the days when Abiathar was high priest) and broke the law by eating the sacred loaves of bread that only the priests are allowed to eat. He also gave some to his companions.” 27 Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!”      The Pharisees lived in cities… don’t miss the point. If they were following  Jesus they were a long way from home. They were simply there to find something wrong with him. ooohhhh people who spend all their time pointing out what others do wrong… powerless and religious!     The people were required to meet the requirements of the Sabbath… this is the law. JESUS NOW COMES TO FULFILL THE LAW     Lord even over the Sabbath.   The Pharisees tried to make the Sabbath Holy by following the rules… Jesus is Lord over the Sabbath. Its not about Rules it’s about Jesus being Lord of your life.     3 Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand. 2 Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus’ enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the deformed hand, “Come and stand in front of everyone.” 4 Then he turned to his critics and asked, “Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?” But they wouldn’t answer him. 5 He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored! 6 At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.     A great example of what happened to the sabbath could be wrapped up in what happened to healthcare. In the USA Churches started hospitals… care for the lost and poor If it was a country - It’s the 5th largest economy in the world  A paper pill cup on amazon is .2 cents, in a hospital it can be as much as $15 *what was once meant to be serving and healing is now consolidation, ownership for the sake of monopolizing profit!  its about the Benjamin's!  The pharmaceutical companies control the curriculum in the medical schools.      Some pharisees even argued that it was illegal to pray for someone on the sabbath.
