Transcript of Jesus Is Lord Of The Sabbath by Pastor Fee Soliven Matthew 12:1-8 Wednesday Evening September 30,...
1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, "Look, Your disciples are doing what
is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"
3 But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was
hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and ate the showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? 6 Yet I say to you that in this place there
is One greater than the temple.
7 But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you
would not have condemned the guiltless.
1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. 2 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, "Look, Your disciples are doing what
is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!"
Deuteronomy 23:25“When you come into your neighbor's
standing grain, you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not use a
sickle on your neighbor's standing grain.”
Exodus 34:21-23"Six days you shall work, but on the
seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest. 22 And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the
firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year's end.
3 But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was
hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and ate the showbread which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
1. David’s Example (12:3-4)
2. The Priests’ example (12:5-6)
3. Proof from the Prophets (12:7)
4. Proof from who Jesus himself was (12:8)
1 Samuel 21:1-61 Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one is with you?" 2 So David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has ordered me on some business, and said to
me, 'Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.' And I have directed my young men to such and such a place.
3 Now therefore, what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand,
or whatever can be found." 4 And the priest answered David and said, "There is no common bread on hand; but there is
holy bread, if the young men have at least kept themselves from women."
5 Then David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was sanctified in the vessel this day." 6 So
the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread which had been taken from before the
LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place on the day when it was taken away.
5 Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple
profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? 6 Yet I say to you that in this place there
is One greater than the temple.
Exodus 20:8-118 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor
your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the
Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Colossians 2:16-23 (new Century Translation)
16 So do not let anyone make rules for you about eating and drinking or about a religious feast, a New Moon Festival, or a Sabbath day. 17 These things were like a shadow of what was to come. But what is
true and real has come and is found in Christ.
18 Do not let anyone disqualify you by making you humiliate yourself and
worship angels. Such people enter into visions, which fill them with foolish pride because of their human way of thinking. 19 They do not hold tightly to Christ, the head. It is from him that all the parts of
the body are cared for and held together. So it grows in the way God wants it to
grow.
20 Since you died with Christ and were made free from the ruling spirits of the
world, why do you act as if you still belong to this world by following rules like these: 21 “Don’t handle this,” “Don’t taste that,” “Don’t even touch that thing”? 22 These rules refer to earthly things that are gone as soon as they are used. They are only
human commands and teachings.
23 They seem to be wise, but they are only part of a human religion. They make people pretend not to be proud and make them punish their bodies, but they do not really control the evil desires of the sinful
self.
7 But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you
would not have condemned the guiltless.
Jeremiah 7:21-2621 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel: "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat. 22 For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices. 23 But this is what I commanded them, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I
have commanded you, that it may be well with you.'
24 "Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went
backward and not forward. 25 Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even sent to
you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them. 26 Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse
than their fathers.
Hosea 6:6“For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt
offerings.”
Colossians 1:13-1813 He has delivered us from the power of
darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have
redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or
principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of
the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in all things He may have the preeminence.
