Verse: Mark 2:1

In this passage we see the healing of the paralyzed man. This is, of course, one of the miracles that we see Jesus perform, and it is one of the more controversial (at His time) that we see as well. He tells the paralyzed man "Son, your sins are forgiven." This teachers of the law thought Jesus was blaspheming the Lord, by forgiving the man's sins. In this, he was claiming devine perogatives, but he was not blaspheming, because it was the truth. He was the Son of God. Also he was the Son of Man. In this he knows the pain of being human, and can help us to fight temptation.

Next, Jesus calls Levi to follow him. Levi is a tax collector, a sinner. He chooses to lose this lifestyle and follow Jesus. This is also symbolic of how easy it is to follow God. Later Jesus is eating at the house of Levi, and is with many other sinners as well. The Pharisees call him on this, and he replies with "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." This also applies to modern life. It is all well and good to discuss Christ with fellow Christians, but do not forget those who don't know Him. There are plenty of people in the world today who are searching for meaning in their life. If you allow God to work through you, you will see awesome changes in their lives, as well as your own.
Then Jesus' desciples are questioned about their lack of fasting. Jesus replies with "How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them." Jesus is saying here that He is God, and that is why his disciples do not fast.
Next, Jesus' desciples are picking grain on the Sabbath. They are called out by the Pharisees on this, and Jesus answers for them "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions." and "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
In saying this, Jesus points out that God gains nothing through man's observation of the Sabbath, but man benefits from the restoration, both physically and spiritually, that he is given each week.
Being Christian is not just about Sundays. It is about living the lifestyle that God wants. Use Sundays as a day to recharge and plan for the next week. If we exhaust ourselves spriritually, by spreading God's word, we must take Sundays off to recharge. If we are not exhausted, we must ask ourselves if we are trying hard enough. Pray for yourself, and for those who you know need the Lord in your life. Pray that you can wear yourself out on those people, to make them, and yourself, stronger in God.
