“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” God gave His people the Sabbath as a time of rest to remember the great things He has done for us. The Pharisees turned that gift into works-righteousness, which Jesus masterfully reveals. In receiving Word & Sacrament, we find true Sabbath rest - Jesus Christ. The devil’s assaults on the jars of clay that we are cannot take that rest from us, for the power belongs to God. (Psalm 62:1, 5-8; Deuteronomy 5:12-15; 2 Corinthians 4:5-12; Mark 2:23-3:6)
