Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
We are so quick to get it all wrong. We make a burden out of a blessing. We make a rule out of relaxation. We get totally turned around in our thinking.
Notice what Jesus said. He made it clear that He never made a rule about the Sabbath to burden man but rather to bless him. He wanted man to get a rest and have time to seek God. He wanted man to stop his daily activities and relax. He wanted man to seek Him.
Now men had made it a burden to all. It was something they could use to hurt each other instead of bless each other. Is that what we are doing with God and His grace? Be careful to see what God is doing and maybe learn to bless and not burden!
