SCRIPTURE
Luke 6:1-5 (NRSV)
Picking grain on the sabbathOne sabbath while Jesus was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked some heads of grain, rubbed them in their hands, and ate them. But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?" Jesus answered, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and gave some to his companions?" Then he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."

SABBATH BLASPHEME
Did he just say
He's Lord of the Sabbath?
LORD...
SABBATH...
Blaspheme!
He has no idea
who he is talking to
messing with
upsetting
status quo
at times like these.
We should wash his mouth
with soap
And beat his back
until it bleeds
Working on the sabbath
Picking on the sabbath
EATING on the sabbath
well, of course eating...
hunger...
David...
He compares himself
to our David?
Who does he think he is?
Greater than David?
Indeed!
Eating, I mean picking, I mean working
I mean...
LOVING
on the Sabbath
Indeed!
INVITATION
