In the Gospel of Mark, we find Jesus in conflict with the religious elites quite often. Last Sunday, we looked at Jesus’ teachings on feasting and fasting, which challenged the old traditions. This Sunday, we find one of the most controversial teachings of Jesus for his time: the nature of the Sabbath. It is equally controversial in our time but for different reasons. I look forward to discussing with you all the beauty of the Sabbath in the light of Jesus.
