When he heals people on the Sabbath, the relgio-political leaders of Israel accuse Jesus of breaking the law. Jesus' response to them brings out the spirit of the law. What exactly is that spirit?

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus delivers his inaugural sermon at a Nazareth synagogue on a Sabbath day. How does his message relate to the Sabbath and how does it forecast the Kingdom of God that is to come on the Earth?

When the disciples pick grain on a Sabbath day, the Pharisees accuse them of breaking the Law. In his response, Jesus says the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath. What does he mean by that?

"The seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns." Exodus 20:8-10. Whenever this law is discussed nowadays, debates rage on which day it's supposed to be and the mechanics of how one is expected to observe it. But all these controversies distract us from the main point of the law, which has been deemed as unprecedented, groundbreaking and revolutionary in the ancient world.
