Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath (Luke 6:1-5) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon explores Jesus' authority over the Sabbath, using the Old Testament account of David eating the showbread to illustrate that human need can supersede religious ceremony. Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for their overly strict interpretations and additions to God's law. The takeaway is that our understanding of God's Word should prioritize genuine human needs and God's deeper principles over rigid, man-made rules.
