Mark 2:13 - 2:28
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
In Mark 2:13-28, Steve Gregg delves into Jesus' actions and teachings surrounding the Sabbath and sinners. Jesus called on Levi, a tax collector, to follow him and dined with other sinners, which scandalized religious leaders. Jesus compared himself to a physician healing the sick and saw a connection between sickness and sinfulness. He also defended his disciples' actions on the Sabbath and emphasized God's intentions for the Sabbath to benefit humanity rather than oppress them. Jesus used controversial actions to teach important lessons about the true meaning and purpose of the Sabbath and his authority over all days.
