In this passage, Jesus makes a clear break with the
religious establishment of his day. This group has convinced themselves that
God wants what they want and cares about what they care about. The lack of
compassion in their hearts is clearly evident to all but themselves. Jesus
discerns that it is time to ‘break Sabbath’ and thereby break through the
façade of the evil they call religion. True religion is always to become more
like the loving Father above who is exemplified in Jesus Christ.
