Red Letters Day 10 Luke 6:1-16

The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath

  • Jesus was going through the grainfields and his disciples began to eat some of the kernels from the grain

  • God had commanded the Sabbath to be a time of rest and no work no labor

  • The Pharisees asked them why they were doing something unlawful on the Sabbath

  • Jesus answered them with Word about David and his companions eating the consecrated bread which was unlawful b/c it was only for the priest

  • He then tells them The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath ( he wass affirming his deity he was the Lord who created the Sabbaath and had the authority to make exceptioon

  • On another Sabbath, he was teaching in the synagogue and a man whose right hand was shriveled

  • The Pharisees were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath

  • Jesus knew what they were thinking

Get Up and Stand in Front of Everyone

  • Jesus tells the man with the shriveled hand to Get Up and stand in front of everyone

  • So he gets up and stands there

  • Jesus asked them two questions

  • Which is lawful on the Sabbath: To do good or to do evil

  • To save life or to destroy it?

  • They were more concerned about the law than freedom for the man

Stretch out your hand

[00:00:07] I'm Onisha, the host of this show, Glory Bites.

[00:00:20] Glory Bites is a short podcast that encourage women to taste and see that the Lord is good disciples began to eat some of the kernels from the grain and God had commanded that on the Sabbath there would be no rest no work no labor. And so the Pharisees they realized what the disciples were doing and they wanted to know why was they doing something unlawful on the Sabbath and so Jesus answers them with the word and

[00:02:42] Jesus knew what they were thinking. So then he tells the man with the stripple hand, he says,

[00:02:45] get up and stand in front of everyone.

[00:02:47] And so the man gets up, he stands there, and Jesus asked him two questions.

[00:02:52] He said, which one is lawful? To do good or to do evil?

[00:02:56] To save a life or to destroy?

[00:02:58] Jesus was thinking more in the positive and they were thinking in the negative.

[00:03:02] And they were more concerned about their law than the freedom of this man. I think I've said this before, but it made me get in my closet today and starts to clean out my space and make it back how it was where I could have that time where I spend time with God and just Cuddled up with my Bible and just have this secret hiding place So he spends time with God all night and as he gets up the next day he calls his disciples

[00:04:23] He chooses 12 designated disciples the Greek word for disciples means learner or follower

[00:05:26] life. Today we see that obedience can bring restoration in our life. We see also how important decisions must be bathed in prayer to God. Jesus is praying before he chooses those in

[00:05:32] his tight close-knit circle. And God calls ordinary people just like these men who had

[00:05:39] different personalities and different lifestyles. No matter what you have in this kingdom work of sharing the gospel through Glory Bites. Make sure that you are subscribed to receive all my latest episodes.
