Thats not true. Jesus obeyed all of God's law including the Sabbath. He did heal on the sabbath but that doesnt not prove Jesus disobeyed the sabbath.


	Matthew 12:9-12 wrote: 9Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, 10and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" 11He said to them, "If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."

To make it a real world application. Supposed that your are keeping the Sabbath. you are resting, reading the bible and praying. Then you hear someone cry for help outside. You go outside to find a child pinned under a car. You are not breaking the Sabbath by going out there to help the child (do good).

Jesus and his disiples also picked corn on the Sabbath because they needed food.


	Mark 2 wrote: 23One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?" 25He answered, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions." 27Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."

Again, if there is something you "need", such as food or water, your not disobeying the sabbath by seeking it.
