JESUS DID NOT BREAK THE SABBATH!!
Taken from Brother Ted McMillan's website:

Many enemies of the truth despot to us that Christ broke the Sabbath
and admitted it as a means to show us that things are different now.
They move to first take the obligation of the Sabbath away, and then
move a step forward to show us with another giant leap, that the
scriptures sanction or command Sunday keeping. All claims that Rome
makes stating that she changed the day from Saturday to Sunday are
naturally and expectedly ignored by them. They don't even say the
Catholics are arrogant for making such claims nor even venture to
correct them. For other faiths to do such a thing would have them
cornering the egg production market.
They then often use the same old scripture to show that Christ broke
the Sabbath. The Disciples were walking through a cornfield on the
Sabbath and began to pluck and eat. The Pharisees met them and accused
the Disciples of breaking the Sabbath. Christ then responded talking
about what the High Priest did with David when he was hungry. The High
Priests offered him the shewbread which it was not lawful to eat
except the priests.
Matthew 12:1-8:
12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and
his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn,
and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was
an hungred, and they that were with him;
4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the showbread,
which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with
him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the
priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
temple.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
The answer to this is plain. When Christ referred to what David did,
was he just, according to the enemies of truth, breaking or condemning
the Sabbath? We have to conclude no. He must have also been speaking
against the prohibition for common people to eat the shewbread. This
is not a Sabbath issue being spoken about here.
Do the enemies of truth tell us that Christ is speaking against the
ceremonial prohibition for common people to eat the shewbread?
Generally no. Even the Pharisees did not think Christ was condemning
the restriction for the showbread to be eaten by the priests only. Yet
this part of the argument is not mentioned because the whole intention
is to destroy God's Sabbath. But let's look at something really
startling in this argument:
If Christ was speaking against the Sabbath and against the prohibition
for the common people to eat the shewbread, when is He telling us this
prohibition came into existence? By using the example of David, HE WAS
TELLING US THAT THESE THINGS CAME TO AN END AT THE TIME OF DAVID. Is
that true? None of the enemies of truth we know of tells us this. They
tell us about the Old Covenant that existed UNTIL CHRIST DIED! They
tell us the Seventh-day Sabbath was binding until Christ died. How
then can Christ use the example of David and what he did, and not be
condemning the Sabbath IN DAVID'S DAY?
What Christ was saying is that although the command says that no work
is to be done, it doesn't mean ALL ALL ALL work. Only conniving
despots would try to mix up the plain teachings. Even on the Sabbath,
when you get up that is work. When you put on your clothes, that is
work. When you study the bible, that is work, etc. Therefore the
priests profaned the Sabbath and were blameless IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
They had to do the work of the Sanctuary. Ministers have to preach on
the Sabbath. That is work. I often see them sweating while delivering
their sermons. Christ was showing the Pharisees that the Disciples
didn't have time to prepare, but should not starve because of
Pharisaism.
