SEEK DAILY (NBC) Thursday, August 22 Mark 2:23-27 THE LORD OF THE SABBATH Then he said to them, “the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:23-27, NIV For Jesus to claim to be Lord of the Sabbath essentially means He is God. He is the Lord of the Sabbath and not just the Master. He is the great intercessor who invites us to pray. He is the living Word who invites us into the Scriptures. He is the High Priest who invites us to worship. There is no place in Christianity that the lordship of Christ does not meet us, show us our need, our weakness and completely meet the very demand God makes of us so we can obey God. Mark shows us the meaning that Jesus gives to the Sabbath: a freedom from legalism, a sense of the heart of God for human beings and a vision of the Lord Jesus who is above the Sabbath. May our lives be full of the reality of Jesus and free from the empty religion that separates human beings from God, others and even ourselves in Jesus’ name. Amen.
