Matthew 12:1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? 5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
The Pharisees came to Jesus bringing the charge of His disciples profaning the sabbath.
Jesus answered by referring to 2 incidents in the scripture where saints had profaned the sabbath day but were guiltless because they were in the Temple.
Jesus said 2 things that needs to be pointed out.
He said they DID profaned the sabbath.
He also said BUT they were guiltless because they were in the Temple.
Then He said One greater than the Temple was here in defense of His disciples; inferring to Himself being God. That was how His disciples were guiltless because He was with them.
This is why every believer is guiltless now for profaning the sabbath; BECAUSE not only is our bodies the temples of the Holy Spirit BUT Jesus Christ is in us and is with us always.
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth...…..20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Believers are profaning the sabbath as the law was not abolished, BUT they are guiltless because Jesus Christ is in us when He fulfilled the law for our salvation.
We can rest from keeping the sabbath day commandment by resting in Jesus Christ
Hebrews 4:1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world....7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
