The Love and Compassion of Jesus Ruled Over Law
Truth is, going by the law, the Pharisees were right, however the law wasn’t serving its purpose because no one could follow it fully, not even the self-righteous Pharisees who were trying to stop Jesus from doing good on the Sabbath. Jesus was introducing something new; grace over law, mercy over law, compassion over religion, love over norms. The love and compassion of Jesus was shining so brightly over the law.
