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

Published 2022-02-26
When Jesus and His disciples picked handfuls of grain on the Sabbath, the Pharisees weren’t happy. Today, R.C. Sproul continues his exposition of Luke’s gospel to consider Jesus’ response, which leaves no room for doubt about His divine authority.

This sermon was preached by R.C. Sproul at Saint Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, Fla. Hear more from his series in the gospel of Luke:    • The Gospel of Luke: Sermons by R.C. S...

    I thank You Heavenly Father, Lord God, for leading me to open YouTube on a Sunday morning (very unprecedented), seeing and listening to this R.C. Sproul’s sermon. Thanks Legonier Ministries. May R.C.Sproul’s soul continue to rest in the Lord🙏
  • That's crazy!! This scripture has been on my mind a lot lately. I've been having conversations about Jesus being the Lord if the sabbath.

    I hope that Dr RC Sproul is doing teaching classes in heaven. I can almost see him doing that. I love his teaching, and my Holy Ghost jumps up and down excitedly inside me when I listen to him teach.

    Genesis 2:2-3 (NKJV) And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. Exodus 20:8-10 (NKJV) “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. Exodus 31:12-17 (NKJV) And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ” Mark 6:2 (NKJV) And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands! Matthew 5:17-20 (NKJV) “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

    "Luke’s gospel to consider Jesus’ response, which leaves no room for doubt about His divine authority" Amen, amen and AMEN kind Sir! So true and Praise His Holy Name... For that is the good news. But the bad news is: 1. The "muslims" say Jesus was ONLY a prophet like their "Muhammad". 2. The "jews" adamantly say, "Jesus" was NOT the "Messiah". For he was nothing but a myth: He healed no one. Nor did he resurrect Lazarus. And on and on. 3. And worse of all: MOST Christians have never understood that Jesus WAS, IS and SHALL BE ALWAYS the only true God Almighty"; there will ever be. And on and on. Sadly, "Christians and most preachers"; have proven their "blasphemous" error for over 2,000 yrs; by using the generic word "God" a thousand times; for every one rare word "Jesus". Sad, but so true. Yet...please read this: John 1:1 and 14; 1 Timothy 3:16 showing God WAS "manifested IN the flesh". Also...John 14:9 proving Jesus WAS the "Father" and of course the "Son and the Holy Spirit"; at the same time. And many more verses throughout the bible that says Jesus WAS God.. NO wonder that Christians have suffered so much; after the day He died; until this day. How sad. Brethren...PLEASE stop saying, "God bless you" and say "may Jesus bless you". And "I believe in Jesus who is God"; rather than "I believe in God". And on and on. LET the World KNOW "who" God is: Jesus! ... In any case kind Sir and Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

    Jesus Yeshua is Adon of the Shabbat Shabbat means rest Yeshua is your Adon of Rest Yeshua Died for your Torahlessness. Israel couldnt keep the Mitzvot They couldnt keep the Aseret Ha Debrot, they failed Misraebly. I dont think Keeping a physical day is gonna earn you Merit into New Jerusalem... only faith in Yeshua can get you in. Jesus is your Rest 24/7 And if people dont believe in the Trinity than you have a problem it in the Old Testament. Read the book the 2 powers in Heaven by Alan segal. Youll see Rabbis debating this two powers in heaven. Selah

    Jesus come not to do away with the Ten Commandments but to fulfill them. He may look like abolishing some laws, eg about Sabbath. Look like he abolished Sabbath when he performed miracles and healing on Sabbath. But then, he claimed himself as the Lord of the Sabbath! So he is greater than the Sabbath itself.

    Do you want to go to heaven? According to Ephesians 1:7, 2nd Corinthians 5:19, and 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 kjv) we simply believe.: How Jesus DIED for the forgiveness of our sins according to scripture Jesus was BURIED and took our sins to the grave, leaving them there and Jesus ROSE AGAIN the third day according to the scriptures Thats the (1st Corinthians 15:1-4 kjv) GOSPEL OF SALVATION! Put full trust in this plan of salvation, and be saved and sealed until the day of redemption! Salvation is NOT getting your sins forgiven, it's BELIEVING they already are. (2 Corinthians 5:18-21) The gospel of salvation is NOT just 'good advice' on what you need to do to be saved, its BELIEVING what God did through Jesus to save you. Do you believe Jesus is God? That he forgave your sins, died in your place according to scripture, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to scripture? If you do, you are saved and sealed by and with the Holy spirit unto the day he redeems you. 1st Corinthians says those that reject Jesus work on the cross will perish: 1 Corinthians 1:18 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. Are you an "us" or a "them"? Lost people will not go to hell because of inforgiven sin. Lost people will go to hell because of unbelief. Because of thier lack of FAITH in what God has already accomplished on thier behalf. Thier unwillingness to reconcile themselves back to God through faith. I challenge and encourage you to study Gods word for yourself (2 Tim 2:15 King James Version). Grace and peace to you
