Have you ever been the boss or been in charge? Maybe it was a project at school, the line leader, playing a game, or something you were doing at your house. In the Bible today we are going to read about Jesus being in charge of everything. Jesus was traveling with His disciples when the Pharisees came up to Jesus to question Him. The Pharisees were people who had a lot of knowledge about the Bible, but they used their knowledge to make other people feel bad about themselves instead of using their knowledge to love God more. Jesus gave them an answer they were not expecting.
Jesus told the Pharisees He had authority over the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a special day that is set apart from the rest of the week. It is a day to rest, be loved by God, and love God. It is a holy day. Jesus said He had control over the Sabbath, the special day. The holiest person was in charge of the holiest day of the week. What do you think about Jesus being in control? How does that make you feel? What do you want to tell Jesus?
Prayer: God, You are great! Thank You for being in control of everything. Thank You for loving me. Amen.
