The Care of the Lord of the Sabbath

The fourth commandment was fundamental to the lives of the Israelites, but how are Christians meant to view the Sabbath today? And how did Jesus understand the Sabbath? In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey explains Jesus' view of the Sabbath and His opposition to the legalistic tradition of the Pharisees, ultimately showing how Christians are to perceive the fourth commandment today.
