Burdened with Blessing

 *Burdened by a Blessing* explores Jesus’ clear teaching in Mark 2:23-28, where He confronts legalistic Sabbath rules by reminding us that the Sabbath was given by God as a gift of rest and blessing for humanity, not a heavy burden imposed on them. Using the example of David eating the consecrated bread in desperate need, Jesus reveals His authority as Lord of the Sabbath and calls us to live in compassionate freedom, prioritizing mercy over rigid rule-keeping. This message invites believers to embrace Sabbath rest as a spiritual refreshment grounded in grace, not law.
