Matthew 12:1-9



In all my years I have never seen any other verses used more to do away with the Laws of God than these.



I am always amazed how satan confused Adam and Eve with 1 command. I am always amazed how hard we try and find Scriptures to do what we want or not love what God wants, if it gets in our way. It has been this way since humans where created.

Commands , fasting anything we do to help us love, know and do what God wants is all we should long for. That is why Jesus said Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.



If we can not follow that 1 command to love God all else is vanity . I do not recall ever falling in love with a Book in the Bible like I have fallen in love with Ecclesiastes. Here is a man called the Preacher that had more than any human could ever want in this world and called it all vanity.



Matthew 12: 6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. 8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.



His disciples was walking and living with the Temple , The Sabbath and The Word of God , they did not need to be reminded at that time .



Luke 5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
We live in a world that hung Jesus on a Cross , killed and imprisoned the disciples. If you are spending your time trying to find places to do away with God and just follow Jesus ,then understand you are in the garden eating from the one tree we where told not to.

Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Jesus came to do His Father's will. Jesus did not break one command and fulfilled the Law , we are to follow His example.



The God I have come to know Who sent His Son , deserves me walking around in sack clothe and rolling in ashes. Does that save me no , it just says I know it pleased Him in days of Samuel and Jonah and I long to please Him. Spend some time in Ecclesiastes KJV it is beautiful. We work hard to make an income , we work hard to pass a class, we work hard in our yards but look for the easy button to follow God...

I agree, and you know what? It actually isn't all that hard. Every example Paul, James, and Jesus Himself gives is always practical. Something as simple as giving what you have to someone who is in need. Its so easy to grasp but the selfish human nature we have is deep. Deeper than most imagine.
