How Jesus Used Sabbath Controversies to Teach Us Stuff: The Mark Series part 10 (2:23-3:6)

Just a quick note related to the Sabbath. I do not think Christians are called to be under the Law and we do not have the same obligation to observe the Sabbath that they did at the time of the events of Mark chapter 2. I have teaching content on how to view the Law and how we can read and learn from it in the light of Christ here. (2 video playlist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoGKJEENngc&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuBirH5Rw3IhJinWrcTufY6 I also have a series dealing with the Hebrew Roots Movement (who teach that we should all obey the Law of Moses today) here youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuOD_BytSxbej… (4 video playlist)

Haha. Saying "have you never read?" is the same as saying "Do you even lift bro?" to a bodybuilder

Most of your teachings are so beautifully thought out and expressed while making sure to have a firm foundation in biblical truth, and this is no exception! I am extremely grateful for your channel (even though I have some slight disagreements on baptism) because of how rare it truly is, especially on YouTube, to find sound biblical doctrine that is taught in such a captivating and interesting way. You truly were called to teach others. Keep up the good work.

Cannot say enough how grateful to God I am of this Mark series! I thank God for you, Ptr. Mike, for loving God and being faithful to Jesus in everything!

Please don’t confuse Moses’ law (613 ordinances) with God’s law (Ten Commandments). They are completely different. God separated them, His inside the ark and Moses’ outside the ark to show their level of importance. Also, God’s were written on stone which is permanent and Moses’ were written on parchment which dissolves.

Why does Mike's church never laugh at his jokes? I'd love to have Mike as a pastor! He's funny and you learn the Bible from the best teacher ever.

Mike, first of all I love your teaching and totally agree with all you said in this video. The Sabbath is an issue that has become a real blessing in my life and one that I would love others to come into the goodness of. My Saviour is 'Lord of the Sabbath' and strangely I have heard that used as a reason not to observe it. The big question, which I'm sure you've addressed before, is why do we observe Sunday rather than the seventh day, Saturday? The only answer I can come up with is found in Mark 7v8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men . If it is not found in scripture it is a tradition of man. A little research shows the pagan influence on the day, the clue being in the name..SUNday. This is a topic no-one I know wants to seriously discuss because in our mainstream churches we are too far invested in what we presently practise. For most, I don't think they have even thought about it. And it's not difficult, it was made for our benefit. A day of rest, no buying and selling. What could be hard about that? I'd love to hear your views on the issue as I respect the authority you give to scripture and your logical and methodical method of study. Maybe I'm missing something but it sure doesn't feel like it. Isaiah 56 v 2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

I say that the Pharisees broke the Sabbath by doing their self imposed "work" to catch people breaking the manmade tradition Sabbath rules and then calling them out on it.

Your channel provides us with such a WELL ROUNDED education on all things Biblical! And you BRING OUT its relevance for people of TODAY! Thanks for yet ANOTHER enjoyable video.

Jesus, the apostles, and Paul observed the weekly Sabbath throughout the entire New Testament. There is not a single verse that says anyone worshiped on Sunday or that the Sabbath has changed, Even in death Jesus observed the Sabbath by resting in the grave. He showed us what to do by modeling it, however most Christians today follow the Catholic church by worshiping on Sunday, the day of the Pagan sun god.

God bless you Pastor Mike your ministry thank you for your gentle teaching which resonates with my spirit at times even causing conviction and reassessing my Christian walk and what it means to be a Christian in this tribulation operating in a Babylon system having freedom in Christ yet being all things to all men that some may be saved thank God there is Grace and thank God it's not by my works that I should ever see heaven hallelujah for the blood of Jesus

Thank you for the clear teaching and it is a joy to listen to. as an ex-SDA, the 7th day sabbath became a burden for me because of all the imposed rules and it should never have been the case...

"Yo," that's in the Greek, the original Greek...😂😂😂 But in all seriousness, thank you for not shying away from the hard concepts. This was God's word explained with utmost care and love.

Jesus always kept the Sabbath in life and even in death as a guide for us. These are some of the many verses about keeping the Sabbath in the New Testament: Mark 2:27 - And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath: (the Sabbath was made for ALL man, not just the Jews) Mark 2:28 - "Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” Matthew 5:17-19 - Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill (become). Matthew 12:8 - For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Luke 4:16 – And He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. Hebrews 4:9 - There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. (The Sabbath) Luke 14:1 - Now it happened, as He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they watched Him closely. Luke 23:56 - And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment. Rev 22:14 - Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. (keep His commandments and we will be given eternal life) John 14:15 - If you love Me, keep My commandments.

So funny God just told me to start reading mark! Was just reading lord of the sabbath today and God gave me a new realization of it and then I see this video wow!

30:25 Calvinism does the same thing.  They hold their traditions above God's word and nullify the intent as they miss the heart of it.  ❤

🤓 Thanks for your dedication to your online ministry! God Bless you and your family in Jesus’s name!

Mike, remember that the weekly Sabbath instituted at creation (fourth commandment) is not the same as the annual Sabbaths (Moses' laws for the Jews). There were no Jews at creation when God instituted the first weekly Sabbath. All Christians are still to keep the weekly Sabbath, but not Moses' annual Sabbaths, feasts, and festivals. Moses' laws were a shadow of the real thing, the Ten Commandments. In other words, Moses laws were done away with, God's laws were not. Jesus always observed the Sabbath even unto death as a guide for us as Christians. He never said to stop observing it.

Isa 58:13-14 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your PLEASURE on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the LORD honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

@ the 1:03 mark you mention the anger is rising. OMGosh, I see this everyday. I have had the same thought for some time now. My heart is grieved more everyday for those who are so angry. It is not a problem only of the political left but also the political right. It is a problem of the unsaved and those who claim to be saved. I pray we as the truly saved do not have anger unless it is a righteous anger at the evil in the world. That our actions coming out of that anger be a good and loving witness for Christ.
