Take it from those who know Him...

Matthew 12:5-8 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent? I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. If you had known what these words mean, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” The Pharisees professed to know God best. Not only had they overlooked David, the "man after God's own heart", referred to in the verses before these; they had overlooked the priests, who gave their lives in serving Him, and most of all, they had overlooked His very Son, with Whom God is One. In fact, a lot of people knew God better than the Pharisees, and all had one thing in common: there were not judgmental like they were. Only when we are humble servants can we see clearly what is important to God.
