Contents: Jesus and the Sabbath. Healing of a withered hand. Choosing of the twelve. Sermon on the Mount. Parable of the house built on a rock.

Characters: God, Jesus, disciples, Pharisees, David, man with withered hand.

Conclusion: Works of necessity are allowable on the Sabbath and above all it is to be spent in the service of and to the honor of Him who is Lord of the Sabbath, whose good works we are to perform.

The blessings of Christ are covenanted to suffering saints who live by the precepts of His gospel, enduring hardship for His sake, in hope of the glory of heaven which will abundantly countervail all hardships. Woe to those who rest upon a false foundation, trusting in the riches of this world and holding Christ and His people in contempt.

Key Word: Lord of Sabbath, Luke 6:5. Sermon on Mount, Luke 6:12; Luke 6:20.

Strong Verses: Luke 6:5; Luke 6:20; Luke 6:21; Luke 6:22; Luke 6:23; Luke 6:27; Luke 6:28; Luke 6:31; Luke 6:35; Luke 6:37; Luke 6:38; Luke 6:41; Luke 6:45; Luke 6:46.

Striking Facts: Jesus as a human being in perfect subjection to the Father walked in constant communion with Him through prayer. In those days when His enemies were filled with madness against Him, He gave much time to prayer. If He, the Son of God, needed to pray, how much more business should we have at the throne of grace?
