Mark 2:18-28
Who is Jesus? (pt. 5: Lord of the Sabbath)

In this series, we will walk through the first part of the gospel according to Mark (Mark 1:16-3:12), focussing on the central question: Who is Jesus?

In this fifth message, we see Jesus as the Lord of the Sabbath. We encounter two sections of verses where Jesus' disciples are shamed by the religious leaders: first for not fasting and then for eating grain on the Sabbath. We will explore these discussions and see how Jesus responds. In application, we will see that there is value in religious traditions to the extent that they point us to a deepening relationship with God.
