WHAT WAS MADE FOR WHAT

Mark 2:27

And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath."

Encouraging Words

It is interesting how today's verse ties back to the verse yesterday in Samuel. God instituted religious traditions and practices to give mankind a way to connect with Him and each other. They are ways to remember what He has done for us and to point us to His Son and what He continues to do for us. When our religious institutions raise these traditions and practices above God's very creation, we begin to go down the path of idolatry, idolizing the traditions and practices. When I was told that salvation was in the liturgy, I realized that it was time to move on. Salvation is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ and the liturgy is for us to worship and adore Him not save us. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
