About this episode

This episode discusses the significance of the Sabbath and Jesus' relationship with it, highlighting four key observations.

Was Jesus a lawbreaker? Did He violate the Sabbath? What exactly was the Sabbath designed for, and how should we observe it? This will be our focus this weekend and next. The conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders is heating up. Today we make four observations about the Sabbath. I. The Sabbath Was a Benchmark (v. 23) II. The Sabbath Became a Burden (vv. 23-24) III. The Sabbath Needs a Balance (vv. 25-26) IV. The Sabbath Should Be a Blessing (v. 27) Learn Your Bible: Read Psalm 37 and meditate on verse 7 as you intentionally choose to “rest in the Lord” this week. Love Your Neighbor: Ask God to soften the hearts of your unbelieving friends and family members, and invite them to join you at Freedom Celebration next Saturday. Live in Freedom: Ask the Lord to reveal areas of your life in which you’re anxious and striving rather than resting in His plan and purpose for you.
