Matt.12:1 At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. 12:2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."

The Spirit of God terrifies the flesh minded of a person, it utterances are parable to its ears, babble to the thinking of the fleshly mind, which run in a pattern of thought since sin enter into our world. How could a sacred law of God be broken, without killing the perpetrator of it? How could a man of God break the Sabbath without being evil?

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

This is the fleshly mind thinking, which is elemental to its pattern of thought, this is the power where its found for the fleshly mind, in laws, created to punishes sin. God's law is good, it is righteous, and it is from God. The fleshly mind knows that much, and it knows every thing against the law is evil, and must be punished or killed, but the fleshly mind does not know the God of love, the God that is only revealed by Holy Spirit in freedom from the flesh and its sins.

1 Peter 1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

Christ was indwelt with life of God, YHWH, by Spirit because he was sinless, he was the resting place for God Holy Spirit, and soon upon resurrection of his precious life he would be given indestructible life, becoming the real temple of God in spirit. God is good, everything he has given mankind was, and is, a gift of his love, he withheld nothing good from Adam and Eve creating everything for them as gift from his heart.

1 John 4:16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

No laborious laws were placed upon Adam and Eve, for they were not evil, they like Christ were sinless needing no laws for sins of their flesh. From here Christ makes the point, and what is that? He is bring freedom from the judgment of sin, he is bring them into God's rest day, the great Sabbath, where man can stand with the merit of Christ life freed from the judgment of Adam's sin.

This is the fulfillment of God's righteous and good law put over Israel which law controlled their lives on the sabbath day of rest, rest from what? Resting from what the sinful flesh does by is inherent nature justifying its self by works of law. God wanted Israel to know they could not justify themselves as a sinner, they could not justify themselves by any of God's laws, least wise the sabbath day laws in their sinful flesh. They must, as we must, be justified by blood provided for us by an innocent victim that does not sin against God's moral laws allowing us to rest on God's sabbath day. No human being under sin can make that statement for sin is against the law. In fact, the power of law is sin; to expose it as wicked against the Spirit of God.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Galatians 5:13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"}

Romans 8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

Christ is the rest day of God for mankind, he is the peace God makes with mankind, and it is his merit by Christ works imputed too us by God's undeserved kindness we can rest in his goodness, and not our own. Now the Pharisee's seem small and void of God's love, they were of the flesh, and they judged by the flesh, fear gripped their heart's when dealing with Spirit in Christ that put their feet upon God's salvation and not human salvation by works of law. All those receiving the Spirit of God must walk in the power of Christ upon the wicked waters of the sinful flesh which never stop churning up the unrighteous mud of badness by faith in God's day of rest, Jesus Christ!

Ephesians 3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love.
