Have you ever wondered why Jesus broke the Sabbath traditions? In Mark 2, Jesus and His disciples were walking through grain fields on the Sabbath. His disciples were picking grain, and the Pharisees accused them of breaking the Sabbath law. Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” He declared Himself “lord of the Sabbath.” What does this mean for us? It means that Jesus is greater than religious traditions and rituals. He didn’t come to burden us with rules, but to offer us rest and freedom. Jesus later heals a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, showing us that doing good and caring for others is more important than rigid regulations. Jesus invites us to find our ultimate rest in Him, based on relationship, not rules.
