Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Jesus broke the sabbath, one of the Ten Commandmenrs of Moses.

Matthew 12:1-14  –  I Samuel 21:1-6  –  Hebrews 4:1-9

Fact of the Day

No!  The Jewish hierarchy following Jesus around to find an excuse to kill him found their excuse when Jesus broke the sabbath, one of the Ten Commandments traced back to Moses.

Other scriptures say people have to work hard to support their families and others.  BUT, they must stop and rest one day a week and make it “holy to the Lord’.  “Holy” means set apart (from the other days of the week when we are working for ourselves) to honor God. 

1-If God had not made it a requirement to stop one day a week, many people would have worked hard year around – concentrating on themselves and not their creator and possibly ruining their health.

2-BUT, occasionally, a life and-death emergency arose that needed to be taken care of. To neglect that situation would have dishonored God. Jesus also gave the example of a child or oxen falling into a well on the sabbath.

• David had been starving
• A child fallen into a well could not long survive
• An ox fallen into a well could not long survive
• Jesus and his apostles were starving
• Dropsy – extreme edema – can be fatal
• Shriveled hands cause by Multiple Sclerosis or Stroke can be fatal.
