Staying Present in the Presence
Part 6
Luke 6:1-11 (NIV)
1 One
Sabbath Jesus was going through the
grainfields, and his disciples began to pick
some heads of grain, rub them in their hands
2
and eat the kernels. Some of the Pharisees
asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on
the Sabbath?"
Luke 6:1-11 (NIV)
3 Jesus
answered them, "Have you never read
what David did when he and his companions
were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God,
and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what
is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also
gave some to his companions."
Luke 6:1-11 (NIV)
5 Then
Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is
Lord of the Sabbath." 6 On another Sabbath he
went into the synagogue and was teaching,
and a man was there whose right hand was
shriveled.
Luke 6:1-11 (NIV)
7 The
Pharisees and the teachers of the law
were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so
they watched him closely to see if he would
8
heal on the Sabbath. But Jesus knew what
they were thinking and said to the man with
the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front
of everyone." So he got up and stood there.
Luke 6:1-11 (NIV)
9 Then
Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is
lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil,
to save life or to destroy it?" 10 He looked
around at them all, and then said to the man,
"Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his
hand was completely restored.
Luke 6:1-11 (NIV)
11 But
they were furious and began to discuss
with one another what they might do to Jesus.
1. Who is the Sabbath for?
Mark 2:27 (NIV)
27 Then
he said to them, "The Sabbath was
made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
2. Take a break.
Mark 6:31 (NIV)
31 Then,
because so many people were
coming and going that they did not even have
a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with
me by yourselves to a quiet place and get
some rest."
Genesis 2:1-3 (NIV)
1 Thus
the heavens and the earth were
completed in all their vast array. 2 By the
seventh day God had finished the work he had
been doing; so on the seventh day he rested
3
from all his work. And God blessed the
seventh day and made it holy, because on it
he rested from all the work of creating that he
had done.
3. Remember how great God
really is.
Colossians 2:16-17 (NIV)
•
16 Therefore
do not let anyone judge you by
what you eat or drink, or with regard to a
religious festival, a New Moon celebration or
17
a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the
things that were to come; the reality,
however, is found in Christ.
