John 5:17 - 5:47
Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses John 5:17-5:47 and the Sabbath. He notes that God's character defines morality, justice and goodness, and that the Sabbath is an important concept. Jesus broke the Sabbath, arguing that David eating showbread was not different from the disciples breaking the Sabbath. The passage mentions foundational truths and repentance, and that God will raise the dead and judge the world. The final line of the parable suggests a lesson.
