Let God Speak! Mark's Gospel

  Day 9: Mark 2:23 – 3:6
Lord of the Sabbath

The Sabbath is a day of rest, one day in seven, and was one of the Ten Commandments on which work and heavy labour was forbidden. For some of the Jewish leaders (Pharisees) it had become a ridiculous farce where every movement was watched to see if it was work. Jesus openly challenged this to show that peoples’ needs were more important than a written code.

(Exodus 23:12 explains the principle of the Sabbath)

What does Jesus say is the important thing about the Sabbath?

What do you think about keeping one day in seven as a day of rest for spiritual, mental and physical recovery?

What is the reason for it? How should it be done?
Are there any things you need to change?
Let God Speak to you about this.
