* Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God. * It's good to suffer loss. It draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves.

What does it mean that Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath? (Matthew 12:8; Mark 2:28; Luke 6:5)

"For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath"
(Mt 12:8). "So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" (Mk 2:28). Then Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath" (Lk 6:5).
  • What does the Sabbath mean to you practically?
    • How did the Pharisees and religious leaders completely misunderstand the Sabbath?
    • Why did they want to control how others kept the Sabbath?
    • Do you place expectations on how others are to live?
