Luke 6:1-5 Have you read?

Today’s Text

If you have questions about Sabbath and what all is going on there, you can ask. I’ll focus on one little snippet.

Barclay in his classic little companion highlights the question Jesus asked, “have you not read…?” He points out that of course they had read it. They had read it hundreds of times. However they had stopped being shaped by the text and instead tried to shape the text. They had stopped submitting to the text and instead wielded scripture like a weapon serving their own agendas.
I wish that I had a good HP7 spoiler to give as an illustration, but I don’t so that will have to wait.

    Oh an HP7 spoiler? Nope, but an HP connection – the attitude of LV, DEs, and pure-blood bigots toward magic is similar to close-minded religious leaders of all cultures… instead of being shaped y their gift(what they have that others don’t), they try to shape (use for domination) their gift.
