Now Jesus' disciple’s actions are under scrutiny by those concerned with the law. In a splendid rhetorical display, Jesus answers their concern about the law by quoting the law. Again he tells the listeners that God requires mercy not sacrifice. Sabbath is a gift not a burden and Jesus boldly proclaims that he will control the mercy of the day of rest.
How will you turn the burden of sacrifice to the joy of mercy?
