Part 4 - Exploring John Chapter 5: Did Messiah ”Break” the Sabbath?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.

When we read the Greek wording for "break" in today's text, we find that Messiah "loosened" the Sabbath. In this episode we will explore the idea that what Messiah "loosened" was the talmudic laws and traditions of men that had been heavy burdens placed upon men, not His Father's Sabbath laws which were always a wonderful gift to men.

The only Sabbath laws that He superseded and "broke" were those of the non-believing leaders. He was returning the Sabbath to what It was intended - for good! Sabbath was, and is today, the *perfect* time to heal a crippled man and set Him free!

Did you know that Messiah never "broke" the Sabbath of His Father? If He did, wouldn't He be a transgressor of the Fourth Commandment? Let's look into the Word and find out!
