Rest & Resistance
Apr 8, 2018 • Malcolm Light • Matthew 12:1-14
Jesus has warned His disciples about the rejection that will come to His ministry and message. Chapter 12 is the beginning of that rejection and hostility about which Jesus warned. Traditions, even well-meaning ones, must always be subject to God’s word and God’s purposes. Jesus is confronted with the Pharisee’s traditions surrounding the Sabbath and confronts them with God’s true intent and purpose for the Sabbath.
