I said
You condemn yourself, in your judgment of others. You are a Pharisee. What you accuse me of it what you do.
Rom 2:1
1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
(NKJ)
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and He can break it if He so desires. And the Sabbath didn't give Jesus His authority, God the Father did.
What? He can break His Father's Law if He desires? That is sin...why would He ever desire to do that?
"Not my Will but thine" and that was to die...He kept it...why would He then desire to break the Sabbath a day of rest?
Squeaky what are you saying? Think NOT He came to destroy...
Of course His Father gave Him authority He came in His Fathers name...but believers believe that as true...
He said He is ALSO Lord of the Sabbath...that "also" indicates that Sabbath is merely part of what gives Him authority but as with the first statement you have to believe in Him that He was Lord Creator...so if you believe Him that He is sent from above you must also now believe He is Creator...another function of His divinity...
But for non believers what establishes His authority?
And so the Pharisees insisted that point
23Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”
24Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 26But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—
we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”
27So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
See? He didn't answer them with an answer they already denied...but He riddled them an answer they could NOT deny.
Authority comes by way of the people who believe...and what they do and which law they keep is their testimony of Who they worship...the Son's testimony was keeping His Father's Law as an example for His People to also testify by their lives and living that He indeed is God Creator Lord of the Sabbath...
Choose ye this day whom ye will serve...Him His way or some 9/10 version of it...rejecting Him their Creator...adding to His word a compromise He never did...
