Jesus is damn cool.

In charge of Sabbath

One Sabbath, Jesus was strolling with his disciples through a field of ripe grain. Hungry, the disciples were pulling off the heads of grain and munching on them. Some Pharisees reported them to Jesus: "Your disciples are breaking the Sabbath rules!"

Jesus said, "Really? Didn't you ever read what David and his companions did when they were hungry, how they entered the sanctuary and ate fresh bread off the altar, bread that no one but priests were allowed to eat? And didn't you ever read in God's Law that priests carrying out their duties break Sabbath rules all the time and it is not held against them?

"This is far more at stake here then religion. If you had any idea what this Scripture meant - 'I prefer a flexible heart to an inflexible ritual' - you wouldn't be nitpicking like this. The Son of Man is no lackey to the Sabbath; he's in charge."'

When Jesus left the field, he entered their meeting place. There was a man there with a crippled hand. They said to Jesus, "Is it legal to heal on the Sabbath?" They were baiting him.

He replied, "Is there a person here who, finding one of your lambs fallen into a ravine, wouldn't, even though it was a Sabbath, pull it out?" Surely kindness to people is as legal as kindness to animals!" Then he said to the man, "Hold out your hand.: He held it out and he was healed. The Pharisees walked out furious, sputtering about how they were going to ruin Jesus.

- Matthew 12:1-14 [The Message]


Note: Pharisees = self-righteous people who think they're all so high and mighty

Jesus is damn cool right! Firm but not fierce, soft but not gentle. Pharisees deserve worst treatment than this seriously. HAHA! Was reading the daily Bible and felt like posting this up. I feel like buying a hard-cover message bible, although I love my pink one A LOT! =D

Been busy this few days doing projects! Outreach logistic stuff! And something pretty! Will post pictures after it can be revealed! Heehee. =D

My brain shuts down at 11pm seriously. I always talk gibberish especially around 1 to 2am and I forget everything that I have said in the morning. I need to sleep and renew my cells hahahahahas. Gotta go sleep now it's another long day tomorrow!


Nights world.
