Saturday, February 24: “God Intentions XXXV”

Mark 2: 27, 28: “Jesus said to them, ‘The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. So the son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.’”

The Sabbath is not unique; it was given for the sake of man, just like the other nine commandments. They are all there to form us into God’s image. He rested on the seventh day, not because He was tired, but because He knew we would be. So He showed us how it’s done. And anything that’s about being renewed in God’s image–well, the Son of Man is Lord nine ways to Sunday over it.
