—Luke 14:1-6

While we are given principles for keeping the Sabbath, we are not given a detailed list of approved Sabbath activities. This can lead to a lot of debate on what can or cannot be done on the Sabbath. That was the issue with the Pharisees; many things they considered unlawful to be done on the Sabbath were based on their traditions and how they interpreted Scripture. Jesus showed once more that it is the condition of the heart that matters and that doing good on the Sabbath, even in something which by their traditions could be considered “work”, was not a sin but was exactly what we should be doing.
