Daily Devo | Sabbath as a Gift (Practicing the Way, Mark 2:23-28)
About this episode
It's easy to misunderstand sabbath by rigid rule-keeping on the one hand or disregarding it entirely on the other. When the Pharisees challenged Jesus about the disciples gathering grains to eat on the Sabbath, Jesus reframed the discussion, pointing out that sabbath was meant to be a gift, not a prison. Looking at sabbath as a gift is a fitting place to begin!
