So in the time that I've been reading through the old testament with my wife, I have realized the legitimate response that those who opposed Jesus had (based on what they understood as God's teaching). The Sabbath was a core part of the teaching everything they knew was built upon. The rules we consider to be pointless - were central to everything that they knew as God's instructions.
As I processed this truth (from the Jewish law) and how they responded to Jesus - I can only apply it to our day in that:
We can understand how confused they were at Jesus' actions if we replace "Sabbath Law" with "The Bible Says".
- The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath
- The Bible was made for man, not man for the Bible.
