A short bible study showing that Jesus being Lord of the Sabbath is no excuse for not keeping the Sabbath day commandment. It is based rock solid on the word of God. Its purpose is only to glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you notice any errors you may contact us.
MATTHEW 12:8 (Jesus)
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.
MARK 2:27-28 (Jesus)
27 And he said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.
LUKE 6:5 (Jesus)
5 And he said to them, That the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.
Note: The suggestion is that because Jesus was "Lord of the Sabbath", he did not have to keep it, and therefore we do not have to keep it either. This is really no argument, because although he did not condemn breaking the letter of the law when there was a human need (See #3.14), he kept it himself, fulfilled the spirit of the law (See #1.22; #1.24), and taught others to keep the law (See #1.23; #1.25). Also we are meant to be like Jesus (See #1.24 Note 1), so there is no proof here that we should not keep the Sabbath day.
