About this episode

Lewis Roderick discusses how Jesus confronts the misuse of the Sabbath and invites weary sinners into God's rest.

In this message we watch as Jesus confronts those who knew the Scriptures inside out but had missed the heart of God. The Sabbath, a gift meant to reveal God's mercy and invite his people into rest, had become another burden to carry and another weapon to judge others with. As Jesus announces himself as Lord of the Sabbath—weary sinners are invited to enter into God's endless Shabbat Shalom through his life, death, and resurrection. Lewis Roderick concludes our Liberty for the Captives with this message from Luke 6: 1 - 11.
