Beginning: Jesus picks a fight

The judgement is passed in your favor

What happens in the middle?

Sabbath

Not a day to be lazy

Sabbath was introduced slowly

1. Manna from Heaven-

No punishment

About God providing- food and rest

2. Working on the Sabbath-

Civil punishment (beatings)

About Societal values- No work at all

3.

Death penalty

A sign of God’s covenant with Israel

4. Jesus

For man to know God’s Provision, Healing, Rescue

Sabbath is meant for you to be satisfied in the God that saves

NOT watch your steps and be lazy

So we must use it correctly

- 13 “If you keep from desecrating the Sabbath,from doing whatever you want on my holy day; if you call the Sabbath a delight,and the holy day of the LORD honorable; if you honor it, not going your own ways,seeking your own pleasure, or talking business; then you will delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride over the heights of the land,and let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob.”

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

13 “If you keep from desecrating the Sabbath,

from doing whatever you want on my holy day;

if you call the Sabbath a delight,

and the holy day of the LORD honorable;

if you honor it, not going your own ways,

seeking your own pleasure, or talking business;,E

14 then you will delight in the LORD,

If you would turn away from the pleasures of this world, you would learn how satisfying I am— That is what the sabbath is about

and I will make you ride over the heights of the land,

and let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob.”

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

- “Be careful to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy as the LORD your God has commanded you.

You are to labor six days and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God...Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm.

That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

“Be careful to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy as the LORD your God has commanded you.

13 You are to labor six days and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God.

THAT is what the Sabbath is about

Now it has: beauty, full purpose, conviction for the conscience

Not: petty rules

Jesus picks a fight- because He knew he could win

Rest, enjoyment, perfection, relaxation

The

The original purposes was to enjoy the perfect creation; to rest in paradise; a perfect display of God’s glory and goodness and creativity

Then sin entered the world and it brought sickness with it

God went from resting in His paradise to working on restoring His now broken creation

Picking fights is generally a bad idea

Jesus IS respecting the sabbath in the purest form: fixing what sin has destroyed, enjoying God’s creation as whole.

Now it has: beauty, full purpose, conviction for the conscience

Usually intentions are not good (Jesus’ were to show salvation)

You can’t guarantee that you will win

***Richy Alberts***

Bad decision stories: moonshine

stopped drinking at 21yo: 10 ft tall and bullet proof

4 guys with gf, 4 drunk friends

“you think your tough?”

Closed my eyes to get hit, hospital for 2 weeks eyes swollen shut

Richy had a lot of stories about picking fights

Transition?

Not: petty rules

They challenge Jesus on what He does on the Sabbath: “Hey!

The Son of Man is Lord over the Sabbath”

He know what it is really about, He can declare its purposes

But Jesus picks a fight, not with destruction - with healing

He did Kindness, Life-giving, healing, defeat of demons on the sabbath.

These held to the original purposes of the Sabbath

Jesus Picks a Fight

Now we don’t follow sabbath rules on Saturdays:

Then sin entered the world and it brought sickness with it

God went from resting in His paradise to working on restoring His now broken creation

Jesus IS respecting the sabbath in the purest form: fixing what sin has destroyed, enjoying God’s creation as whole.

God was working during Creation and then He rested

When mankind invited sin into God’s perfect world, God started His plan to rescue us

Now, in this passage, we see that the Father and Jesus are working

What are they working on?

Removing the sin and sickness (what Jesus just did to that crippled man)

Relationship

Background?

The Son is in full, perfect unity with the Father- VS 19

WHATEVER the Father does the Son does— they do the same things.

They are in step

The Father is in perfect unity with the Son- Vs 21
