Is Jesus your Sabbath?

Matthew 12: 8

“For the Son of man is the Lord of the Sabbath.”

Back in the days of Jesus, it was necessary to observe many traditional and trivial regulations on the Sabbath.

You couldn’t even feed your chickens, more grain than they were able to eat. The fear was, that if the left over grain actually sprouted, you would be guilty of sowing on the Sabbath.

Sounds pretty bogus if you ask me. It was even unlawful to swat a fly on the Sabbath.

Jesus was trying to correct the thinking of the religious Jews of His day, because they had made the Sabbath something it was never intended to be.

Don’t we do that today? I wonder how many people truly make Jesus the Lord of the Sabbath?

Most of us, as soon as church is out, we use the Sabbath as a catch up day to do laundry—prepare meals for the week—pay bills, and this list could go on and on.

That is if we even go to church! Maybe we’ve made the Sabbath, something it was never intended to be?

The Sabbath was set aside as a day of worshipping God, and a day of rest for us. DO people rest anymore on the Sabbath? We’re going 80 miles an hour, in 10 different directions!

The Son of Man is our mediator, who sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding on our behalf—no wonder He’s the Lord of the Sabbath!

Do you make Jesus Lord, on the Sabbath day? Better yet, is Jesus truly the Lord of your life?

People often say….. “I don’t have to be in church on Sunday to worship Jesus.”

Do you know how foolish that sounds?

I wonder how many people, follow that kind of irrational thinking?

I wonder how many people see that, and then also begin to follow that kind of irrational thinking?

Jesus said in Matthew 13: 41…. “The Son of man will send forth His angels to gather out of His Kingdom all stumbling blocks…”

Jesus is the One, who will one day come out of Heaven and separate the righteous from the wicked, and execute God’s plan of wrath.

He can probably do that, because He is the Lord of ALL………..
