Luke 6:2-5
2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 But Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?” 5 And He said to them, “The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
God created a day of rest to remind us of His rest after creating the universe and us, as well as to train is to rest ourselves. Even Hebrews reminds us in chapter 4'that the rest we must enter into is Christ's work in place of ours to earn salvation and to walk with Him afterwards. So when we "break" the Sabbath by our work, is it ritual of legalistic necessity or rest in Christ we follow?
