“Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath!” Mark 2:23-3:6

I wonder how many people would be able to articulate what the Sabbath is from a biblical perspective? I also wonder how many people observe a Sabbath in their spiritual lives. I wonder how many people know the importance of the Sabbath to having a balanced, productive, spiritual life, work life, and personal life?

In this passage of Mark’s gospel, Jesus gives us great insights into this Biblical idea of the Sabbath. If born-again believers are going to live a spiritually healthy and balanced life, understanding and practicing the Sabbath is vital.
