Sometimes, people try to be holier than God!

Morning: Psalms 41, 52; Exodus 32:1-20; Colossians 1:1-14

Evening: Psalm 44; Luke 6:1-11

The leaders of the synagogue rage against Jesus for what they see as his breaking the law by allowing his disciples to pluck grain to eat and by healing on the Sabbath.  Jesus responds by saying that since he is the human face of God (or ‘the Son of Man’) he did in fact make the Sabbath Law (the 4^th commandment), and therefore he is ‘Lord of the Sabbath’ ... And he says that sabbath rest is meant to benefit humankind, not to be a burden.  Sometimes, people try to be holier than God!
