Insights from Scripture
EXPLORE THE BIBLE: (10–15 minutes)
Ask for a volunteer to read the scripture passage, and instruct students to listen for the rules that Jesus and David broke. After the passage has been read, discuss their answers regarding the rules that Jesus and David broke. Then divide the class into groups of 3-4, hand out the worksheets, and ask groups to answer questions 1, 2, and 3. Discuss the answers with the whole class.
Answers to the worksheet questions:
1 A day of rest because God rested from creation work on the 7th day. God gave a day of rest to the Israelites.
2 Jesus came to fulfill the true spirit of the Law (Matt. 5:17). Jesus, being the incarnation, God in flesh who has authority over the law, helps us understand the intent of the law.
3 Jesus wanted to show that people’s needs and human welfare can, at times, take precedence over the law.

APPLY: (10 minutes)
Say: What does this story have to do with our daily lives? Should we obey the laws of today’s world to set a good example as Christians, or do we make ripples in the water of society in order to stand up for what we believe? Do we have a right, like Jesus did, to tread into new territories in order to set others free?”
Ask students to get into their small groups and talk about question 4 on the worksheet. Share answers with the whole class.
