Hmmm...Jesus clearly sees it differently than you do. And He asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it...?” But they wouldn’t answer Him.
Please hear me. I’m suggesting that Christ’s teaching is a balance. Clearly the law was written for people but people were not created so that there could be a law. I agree.
What I said was that one can fall off balance in two directions; one by suggesting the law as an end-all-be-all, the other saying that the law matters not at all.
Christ doesn’t tell the Pharisees they’re wrong for being concerned about the Sabbath; He asks them “what is lawful...”
If the law didn’t matter at all, why would He ask that?
He did so to show that their self righteous “concern” was itself a violation of law. He wasn’t saying that the law is abolished.
One must be balanced between law and grace for without one the other will inevitably fall.
