Lord of the Sabbath, Part 1
Luke 6:1-5 As we have been moving through Jesus’ Galilean ministry, if you remember, Jesus’ Galilean ministry started in chapter 4, verse 14, and goes all the way through chapter 9, verse 50. But even in these early chapters, we have been seeing an increase of opposition from the Jewish leadership. As Jesus exercises his Messianic prerogatives, as he executes his Father’s perfect will, he’s being led along all the while by the Holy Spirit. And Jesus’ ministry, let’s just…
