This brilliant video gives clear answers to questions like:
- What does it mean for Messiah to be “lord of the sabbath”?
- Did the disciples of Messiah break the Sabbath when they plucked grains?
- Did Messiah indicate the Sabbath no longer mattered?
- Could he do whatever he wanted on the Sabbath because he was lord of the Sabbath?
This is in response to these following 3 passages that are often misused to explain that Jesus came to do away with the Sabbath.
Matthew 12:1-8: At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.” He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
