How should we view the Law? That is the question at the heart of this section from Mark 2. The Pharisees had a fundamentally different view of the law than what God intended. The Pharisees saw the law as a way to get to God, as ladder of sorts.
So, when it came to the laws surrounding the Sabbath Day, they viewed this as a way to prove their holiness. They even took it further - they added laws on top of the laws.
However, God's law never was meant to serve this purpose. God's law was meant to be a blessing to his people. For the Sabbath, it was a command, but it also brought blessing into peoples' lives - physical rest, spiritual nourishment.
How does this apply to us today? Tune in to this week's sermon to hear how God gives his grace and blessing to his people.
