Picking Grain on the Sabbath
Matthew 12:1-8.
Jesus was going through a field of grain on the sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "See, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the sabbath." He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry, how he went into the house of God and ate the bread of offering, which neither he nor his companions but only the priests could lawfully eat? Or have you not read in the law that on the sabbath the priests serving in the temple violate the sabbath and are innocent? I say to you, something greater than the temple is here. If you knew what this meant, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned these innocent men. For the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath."
WORD - Reflection
Struck word / Phrase - "Mercy"
Knowing that Jesus is the Son of the Lord, He is the Lord in Sabbath's day and that's how we should spend the Lord's day. It's what God's telling me through the Gospel is that you should honor and rest in the Sabbath's day. The practice of Christianity is adjusting and it's always improving and changing. You should believe in what you believe in and apply it so you would be true to you.
