Introduction
God certainly prohibited work on the Sabbath, but His intent was to provide people with a day of rest, not to force them to literally count the number of steps taken outside the home (as some Pharisees did) or to condemn people for doing necessary things like eating, or for doing good things like healing.
Jesus’ teaching is not just about the Sabbath but about all of the commandments being God’s will. Jesus did the Father’s work on the Father’s day, and Jesus’s disciples are to imitate Him.
When Jesus healed the man with a withered hand, He declared that the Sabbath had been given to do good and to save life. The Pharisees were so caught up in their traditions that they had missed the entire point of the Sabbath. But as Jesus pointed out in Mark 2:27, the day had been given to be a blessing, not to burden people with rules (Bible Expositor and Illuminator Union Gospel Press, Spring Quarter 2024).
Powerful faith has conviction and confidence in God’s authority over all (Bible Expositor and Illuminator Union Gospel Press, Spring Quarter 2024).
