MATTHEW 12.1-8
THE SON OF MAN IS LORD

Today, I would like us to fix our eyes on the glory of the Lord Jesus. We want to fix our eyes on Him and pray that God will help us to see some measure of that glory. We want to learn to enter into a deep fellowship with the Lord Jesus so that we can see more of that divine glory.

The glory of Christ

And for this, let’s turn to Matthew 12.1-8. As I read this passage, just fix your eyes on the Lord Jesus and think about what you can see of that glory. Matthew 12.1-8.

Matthew 12.1. At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath through the grainfields, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Behold, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.”
3 But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did, when he became hungry, he and his companions;
4 how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests alone?
5 “Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath, and are innocent?
6 “But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.
7 “But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire compassion, and not a sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
8 “For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
