Gospel of Mark - Mark 2:23-3:6 - Prog 17

Mark now gives two episodes about Jesus demonstrating that He is Lord of the sabbath. In the first, Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees as to why Jesus’ disciples were doing what they considered to be “unlawful on the sabbath”. They were viewed as doing work on the sabbath by plucking the heads of wheat and eating them. Jesus declared that the sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Jesus, the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath. The second episode shows Jesus healing a man on the sabbath. Here the religious rulers were waiting to accuse the Lord of a violation by healing a man on the sabbath. Jesus didn’t disappoint. He healed the man’ hand. This then, gave rise for a collusion between two enemies. Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Mark 2:23. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unchanging-word/message
