over GOD.
That is what Jesus blasted the pharisees for. Elevating the Form- the man-made rules and rituals that blocked out love. It is the very definition of pharisaic. This is what he meant when he said that the Sabboth was made for man not the other way around. The Sabboth is the day of rest- so man can regenerate and refresh spiritually, mentally, emotionally, etc. When you make man for the Sabboth instead of the Sabboth for man then you can condemn someone for healing on the Sabboth. You can condemn anyone who breaks the ritualistic rules- even for greater good or highter health and healing. Clearly anyone knew that if their donkey fell in a ditch during the Sabboth they could drag it out of the ditch even though the rules strictly prohibited doing any work or any heavy lifting on the Sabboth. Your donkey is stuck in a ditch. You can get him out even while bound and bonded and pledged to the rules of the Sabboth. So if you can dig your donkey out of a ditch obviously you ought to be able to help rescue your loved one if they are stuck in a ditch even when strictly bound by the ritualistic rules that mandate otherwise- because Man was made for the Sabboth, not the other way around.
Your loved one is in a ditch. Dig the person out.
You wouldn't stand and observe a red traffic light waiting patiently for the light to change if
you saw your three year old neice dart in front of a car would you? No, you would jaywalk or dart against the light as fast as your legs could carry you if it meant you get hit by a truck.
Your loved one is in a ditch. Dig the person out.
