THE THIRD COMMANDMENT

“Why are You doing what is prohibited on the sabbath?” –Luke 6:2 Keeping the sabbath is a sign to show that we want to be holy and that the Lord makes us holy (Ex 31:13). Keeping the sabbath is to be considered a perpetual covenant between us and the Lord (Ex 31:16).

WHY THE CONFUSION?

“They will surely fast in those days.” –Luke 5:35 In Isaiah’s time, people were confused about fasting. The Israelites cried out to the Lord: “Why do we fast, and You do not see it?

Hid from the wise and understanding…

Matthew 11:25-26 25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants. 26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight. (WEB) When Jesus prayed to His Father and thanked Him for hiding ‘these things’ from the wise and understanding, what was He referring to? If we read earlier in the chapter, Jesus is talking about how He was rejected by the religious establishment of the day when they called Him a ‘glutton and a drunkard, a friend...
