This month on Theonomoney, Jeremy continues looking at the Fourth Commandment, the Commandment on the Sabbath. He explains exceptions for works of necessity and works of mercy, and also talks about slaves and the Sabbath and ties that into a modern example that may affect nearly every listener.

Additional Note:
A passage helpful on the topic of works of necessity and works of mercy not mentioned in this episode is John 7:22-23, where Jesus points out that if a newborn boy’s eighth day falls on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders will do the work of circumcision on the Sabbath, but they got mad at Jesus when He healed on the Sabbath. The Jewish leaders rightly recognized the work of necessity of obeying God’s Laws on circumcision, even on the Sabbath, but did not extend that to the work of mercy of Jesus’ healing on the Sabbath, or the work of necessity of plucking heads of grain on the Sabbath while walking through a grain field.
