The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath
Manila Bulletin
|September 6, 2025
One serious accusation leveled against Jesus is his utter disregard for Sabbath law.
-
The Pharisees are scandalized that he allows his disciples to pick grains and to shell them with their hands on a Sabbath.
On several other instances, Jesus is also questioned by his critics for healing the sick on the Sabbath. The Pharisees focus on actions or activities to be avoided on the rest day and have forgotten the very intention or purpose of Sabbath rest.
In very practical terms, our day of rest enables us to pause from our labor and to relax our mind and body after working for six days. It is the day to move away from the stress of daily work, to remind ourselves that we are not a machine or aslave in the entire production process. Being the ultimate creation made by God, human beings are undeniably the crown of God’s creation.
