Luke 6:1-5 — Who is sovereign over the interpretation of God’s words? As we seek to understand and apply God’s Law, to whom do we look for guidance? We look to Jesus because it’s His Law. He is the Lord of the Sabbath. That’s what we learn from this text and it’s a very important principle.
If we fail to take our cues from Jesus when it comes to applying God’s Word, we will become judgmental, censorious, severe and cold. We will lack the warmth and grace that drew people to Jesus and that still does today.
