He committed no sin, so how did He break the Sabbath? Isn't it considered a sin to break the Sabbath?
Isn't it considered a sin to break the Sabbath?
Not if you are Lord of the Sabbath
Matt. 12:8
"For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Remember Abraham was counted righteous by God because of faith. The Ten Commandments were not even around in Abraham's time. Jesus was also righteous by faith and not by the works of the Law. We should be righteous by faith and not the works of the Law.
According to the Ten Commandments, breaking the Sabbath results in death. Most Christians break the Sabbath every Sunday ( the Sabbath is Saturday) so according to the Ten we should die, which is why we become sick and eventually die, its sin working over a period of time on our bodies. Its not just the Sabbath but covetousness and a all the rest. If we say we live by the Ten and break them we are judged by them, if we live by faith then we are under grace and we don't need to sacrifice an animal because we have a sacrifice in Jesus
The fact is we are all under the bondage of the Law until God brings us out of that bondage and we are taught, by God, how to live by faith like Jesus does.
Sin in the eyes of man may not be sin in the eyes of God. According to the religious leaders, Jesus was a sinner and should be put to death. According to God Jesus was not a sinner and we know this because Gods power was shown through Jesus. Jesus couldn't have performed miracles by himself, he said so himself, but it was the power of God working through him. Jesus was approved of God by mighty signs and wonders.
