Walking in the Grain fields, an Example of the Christian Life

On this Broadcast I will be preaching a sermon from Matthew 12:1-7.  This is one of the first sections of Scripture the LORD blessed me to read and have some insight.  I hope to share this with you.

    1    At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat.

    2    But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.”

    3    But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions,

    4    how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone?

    5    “Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?

    6    “But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here.

    7    “But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire compassion, and not a sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
