Sabbath as Divine Commitment: At the Pool & On The Roadside

What if Sabbath isn’t just about rest? What if it is about the work of restoring people to wholeness with their heavenly Father? In back to back presentations, Dr. Sigve Tonstad looks at how Jesus interacted with people on the Sabbath. Using the Gospel John, Tonstad examines Jesus’s dealings with the man at the pool (0:13:09) and then the healing of the man on the roadside (2:14:00). Both incidents brough restoration while also fueling resentment from those concerned with “protecting” the Sabbath command.
