The True Purpose of the Sabbath - Mark 2: 27-28

Here is Jesus early in His earthly ministry speaking with the authority of the sabbath He addresses the Pharisees and the people for in His place of deity, nothing was mammoth Firstly the scripture says Jesus spoke to them this was no ordinary man steeped in the law for Jesus is the son of God eternally divine the very word of God of whom was no flaw Jesus spoke as only God can the Sabbath was made for man as God's gift presented only for good knowing only good in God's plan He also spoke clearly of man who was for the Sabbath not made but man so often rejects this thinks knows better but he's in the shade God was the originator of this truth He alone made it at creation for the Lord rested on His day shows His holy godly persuasion Whatever these verses in Mark inspire. ("And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.") Mark 2:27-28

The Sabath is such a special time of rest and worship it is a day of family and of time to be in the Lords presence. Friday night to Saturday morning. God bless you Gordon for your love of Christ and your willingness to share his word in truth, my friend. I am sorry for not seeking your Poetry of late my friend. I can go back and read though and I am looking forward to reading all your inspired writings. Again thank you for your effort in sharing my friend...

Thanks Michael, Glad you enjoyed this piece and for your kind encouraging words. I have been looking through myself all I've written in past 18 years now numbering over 2000 poems and it's surprising that I've reached such a number. Have a very blessed day,Gordon

Hi Gordon, You are an excellent potential lay preacher, I honestly believe God has his eye on you, perhaps ASK YOUR PREACHER IF HE THINKS THIS COULD BE TRUE, YOU ARE SUCH A DEDICATED CHRISTIAN. Hugs and blessings. JENNIFER. Jennifer.

Thanks Jennifer, Glad you enjoyed this piece but at my late years I think it's too late to start preaching now and with my stammer problems especially among crowds that makes it a no no. Trust all is well with you in my fav land of beauty, hugs and blessings, Gordon
