Luke 6:1-5:
Sabbath rest is extremely important to the Jewish people, to a fault. The Pharisees observe the disciples picking and eating grains of wheat on the Sabbath. They bring their criticism to Jesus veiled in a question. In response, Jesus cites a similar situation from Scripture, perhaps hoping to help them see that there are valid exceptions to everything, and at the same time, revealing the Pharisees’ shallow understanding of God’s law.
You are Lord of the Sabbath. You show me the way to the Father, guide me in truth and offer me eternal life. For this, I praise and thank you.
