I was just going over a sermon I’m giving tomorrow at church.
At one point I talk about church culture and tradition, and how at points it may be right to go against tradition for the purpose of actually engaging with Jesus. The context is Jesus being Lord of the Sabbath, and how even the rules laid down by religious tradition over what constituted ‘work’ on the Sabbath do not compare to the one who is far bigger and of more consequence.
So in my practice run through my sermon, I was talking about how the Sabbath was such an important thing, the most detailed of the ten commandments, and here is Jesus saying that he’s ‘more significant than even the Sabbath, the sacred cow of the ten commandments…’
I might try to avoid that one tomorrow.
