The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.
Placing a higher value on people, rather than culturally defined traditions which change like shifting sands through time.
Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.
If you had known what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the innocent.
- the Lord
For I desire loyalty and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
- the Spirit
Make Your ways known to me, Lord; teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; I wait for You all day long. Remember, Lord, Your compassion and Your faithful love, for they have existed from antiquity. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my acts of rebellion; in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me because of Your goodness, Lord. The Lord is good and upright; therefore He shows sinners the way. He leads the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truth to those who keep His covenant and decrees. Because of Your name, Yahweh, forgive my sin, for it is great.
