Jesus, SOn of Man is Lord of the Sabbath

Luke 6:1-19
The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.
Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." So he got up and stood there.
Which is lawful in the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?
Jesus said to the man, "stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was completely restored.
But they were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles.
Only Luke tells us of Jesus' night of prayer before announcing his choice. He tells us more about Jesus as a man of prayer than any other Gospel writer.
Why?
Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath.
Jesus did not work for anything he said to them. Even doing right things are better than do the evil or do nothing.
Sabbath is to remember the Lord, respect the Lord. Jesus is the Lord so he did healing is good to the people.
But many people focused on the Laws instead of mercy, love and grace. And does not acknowledge Jesus is the Lord.
Why?
Jesus is prayer everyday, Jesus is a man of prayer, how about me? Should be a man of prayer either.
How about my life of Christian, don't be a lawful man, let the love and mercy of the Lord could be in my heart. And love others with love of Jesus.
Do the right things but with love and mercy and wisdom.
How?
Don't be a stuck man in the law but with love and joy in my life.
