—Matthew 12:1-13
by: Andrea Pozo.
What a beautiful passage about enjoying the Sabbath given to us by the Lord as a day in which to delight (Isaiah 58:13)! We must learn to differentiate between the Law of the Lord, which is perfect, and traditions imposed by different groups of people. In this case, the Pharisees were judging Jesus and His disciples according to their interpretation of the Law. But Jesus, who never sinned and abided by the Law completely, explained to them that “it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath” (v.12). By doing the good works the Father commanded Him to do, Jesus was demonstrating God´s justice.
