Intro

Where have we been
We have been introduced to the main character Jesus Christ
In Mark 1:1 we are told what this story is
The euongellion of Jesus Christ a royal proclamation that the Savior has come
A man had appeared in the wilderness proclaiming a baptism of repentance and forgiveness of sins
This man points toward the one who will come after him the one who will baptize with the holy spirirt
ENTER THE MAIN CHARACTER JESUS CHRIST
This man Jesus enters the baptisim waters
Waters he has no need of because he is already clean
Waters that are filled with the sins of everyone else
He goes into those waters to show he is one of us
Immediately he goes to be tempted in the wilderness
We dont know the outcome of this temptation just that he emerges preaching the Gospel of God
Mark 1:15 ESV
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
He then calls his first disciples and their response is to leave these lucrative jobs to follow him
He then starts teaching and healing and casting out demons
He is teaching them as one who has authority
Mark 1:27 ESV
27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”
He is commanding Demons to be silent
and healing people form all kinds of disease
We see the authority he welds in his teaching his ability to call men to follow him and his authority of demons and sickness
Jesus then does the unthinkable he touches a leaper and heals him
Because of the lepers disobedience
Jesus exchanges his spot for the lepers in a forshadowing of what he will do for us at the cross
We then turn the page to chapter two and we see a growing interest in what Jesus was doing and why he wasnt doing it like he “should”
We see a conflict begin to arise between the scribes and pharisees and Jesus
Jesus was making claims to be equal to God
And he was proving those claims to be true
Then came the questions
Why do you claim to forgive sins
Why do you eat with sinners
Why dont your disciples fast
In each of these instances Jesus answers them with a claim to be equal to God
To be the messiah
This causes the resentment to build
This brings us to todays passage
Mark 2:23–3:6 ESV
23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25 And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?” 27 And he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.” 1 Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. 2 And they watched Jesus, to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse him. 3 And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come here.” 4 And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. 5 And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. 6 The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

Another question

Why dont your disciples observe the sabbath?????
What is sabbath and why was it a big deal
Sabbath was the day of rest
God commanded us in the fourth commandment
To remember the sabbath and keep it holy
The Pharisees and scribes had added so much to that however
They had added so many rules
If someones house fell down on the sabbath you were only allowed to do enough work to see if there were any survivors
If you dislocated your shoulder it would be considered work to put it back in
The pharisees basically tried to think of every circumstance and set a limit for the amount of work that was allowed
you could only do one stitch on the sabbath
There were 24 chapter in talmud Jewish law about what you can and cant do on the sabbath
Luke 11:46 ESV
46 And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
The Pharises mades so many laws that it be came more of a burden than a help
Why dont the observe this
Jesus responds with a question of his own
Dont you know this story of David
A pick at the lie of how knowledgable they thought the were
A story of God’s compassion always overriding ritual laws
Colossians 2:16 ESV
16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
