We continue the discussion on legalism. The Sabbath is one of the 10 commandments. God gave the Sabbath as a blessing to people and told them to keep the day "holy" and to "not do any work." The Pharisees missed the point. Jesus healed a man's hand (a holy moment), and the Pharisees plotted to kill Jesus because of it. I guess the Pharisees forgot that one of the other of the 10 commandments was to not murder.

Jesus did not come to establish a new set of rules or legalism. His mission was to offer forgiveness of sin and invite us into his Kingdom. Unlike the Pharisees who believed that following strict rules would make them righteous before God, Jesus' blood is the only thing that can make us righteous before God. Therefore, we should be cautious not to judge ourselves or others in a legalistic manner that goes beyond what our Lord Jesus requires.

Have you ever really wondered what sin is? We discuss what sin and forgiveness are. Jesus tells the paralyzed man (whom they let in from the roof) that his sins were forgiven and then Jesus healed his body. If you have placed your faith in Jesus, he has forgiven you.
