Matthew 12:1-14
https://youtu.be/QoJzWZAEhtQ
Remember that Jesus just finished talking about taking up His yoke and His burden, then will you find rest for your souls. The safety, security and rest that we search for in only found in being yoked with Jesus- following His way, obeying His Word, staying on that narrow path of affliction
Being in the corn-fields, the disciples began to pluck the ears of corn: the law of God allowed it,
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.
The Pharisees did not quarrel with them for taking another man's corn, but for doing it on the sabbath day. Christ came to free his followers, not only from the corruptions of the Pharisees, but from their unscriptural rules, and justified what they did.
The Pharisees distinguished themselves from the Sadducees by their zeal for the traditions of men, which they held to be equal to the Word of God. With the completion of the Mishnah (written compilation of the oral law, rituals, and traditions) in about A.D. 200, and the Talmud (the combination of the Mishnah and the Gemara [three centuries of the rabbis’ commentary on the Mishnah]) in about A.D. 500, the Pharisees’ teaching became virtually synonymous with Judaism. Ironically, it was their zeal for the law that caused the Pharisees to become focused on rituals and externally keeping the law. They abandoned true religion of the heart for mere outward behavior modification and ritual, leading Jesus to scathingly denounce their pseudospirituality: The complex set of man-made rules and regulations was a crushing, unbearable burden.
Matthew 15:9 “And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
The word "doctrines," here, means the requirements of religion - things to be believed and practiced in religion. God only has a right to declare what shall be done in His service; but they held their traditions to be superior to the written word of God, and taught them as doctrines to be binding
Jesus meets a group of these Pharisees, most likely spies sent from Jerusalem to find an accusation against Him and Jesus refers to Himself as the Son of man. These words assert that the Sabbath (Hebrew word meaning to repose, desist from exertion) came within the limits of His jurisdiction as the Messiah, just as the power to forgive sins had been claimed by Him under the same title. This title Son of Man asserts the authority of Him who bears it to determine how the Sabbath is to be observed in the Kingdom of God. He had this authority from the beginning:
Daniel 7:13-14 13 “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.
Thus Jesus declares to these men that as the Son of Man, He has authority over all things- even the Sabbath
Mark 2:27-28 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28 Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
The Sabbath is one of the 10 commandments. The first four reveal our duty to God, the last six reveal our duty to man. The command to keep the Sabbath is the 4th, falling under our moral duty to God.
