The Sabbath Was Made For Man, Part 4

In this fourth sermon in the series on the Sabbath, Mr. Smith continues looking at the New Testament examples of what Jesus did and taught on the Sabbath day with his focus on healing and freeing people from burdens. This is teaching us that we too can do good on the Sabbath day. That is one of the purposes of the Sabbath and doing so does not break the Sabbath as Jewish leaders accused Jesus of doing by his good works on that day.
