Text Box: However, this act they protested 
Just added grist to their mill…
For the Pharisees had a diabolical plan
To compile enough charges
Against the Lord Jesus Christ
To legally execute the Son of Man.
"Look, why are they doing
"What is not lawful on the Sabbath?"
The pompous men indignantly said.
Christ reminded them how David
While in need and quite hungry
Entered God’s house to eat the Showbread. **
The Showbread Christ spoke of 
Or, Bread of the Presence,
Was prepared using fine flours and yeast.
It was unlawful to eat Showbread 
In the House of God
Unless one was a Levite Priest...
After creating the universe
And all that’s within it…
God needed a ‘Day of Rest’. 
Thus the seventh day…the Sabbath
He set aside for that purpose…
A day our God hallowed and blessed ***
"The Sabbath was made for man
"And not man for the Sabbath." 
Said Lord Jesus to everyone there …
"Therefore the Son of Man is Lord
"Even of the Sabbath."
He concluded with authoritative air.
* Luke 6:1-5
** I Samuel 21:1-6
*** Genesis 2:1-3

Text Box: …Lord of the Sabbath 
By John McKee
As Jesus with His Disciples 
Were passing through a grain field,
The men plucked and ate heads of grain. *
Pharisees present were shocked
For this was a Sabbath day
And to Jesus, they began complain.
