What Did I Say About the Sabbath?

You want to know what I said about the Sabbath? Let Me remind you. In Mark 2:27-28, I said: “The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.”The Sabbath is a gift-not a burden. It was created to serve you, to bring you rest. And I have authority over it.

In Matthew 12:11-12, I said: “What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.” Doing good is never against God’s will. The Sabbath is not a day to withhold mercy-but to show it.

In Luke 13:15-16, I said: “Doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman… be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?”The Sabbath is not an excuse to ignore suffering. I came to heal-even on the day of rest.

In Luke 6:9, I asked: “I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?” My answer is clear: the Sabbath is not about legalism-it’s about life.

Why Do My Words Matter? Why Should You Listen to Me? Because I am Lord of the Sabbath-and everything I speak comes from the Father.

In John 12:49-50, I said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me… gave Me a commandment… and I know that His commandment is life everlasting.” The Sabbath is part of God’s gift of life. And I came to reveal the heart behind it.

And in Matthew 24:35, I said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” Traditions may shift. Interpretations may vary. But what I’ve said about the Sabbath remains  forever.

So if you’re still asking, “What did You say about the Sabbath?” Here’s My answer: The Sabbath was made for you. I am Lord of the Sabbath. It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. It is a day for mercy, healing, and rest. Not for rules-but for life. Honor it-not with fear, but with love.
