Having been accused by Pharisees of violating the letter of the law regarding the Sabbath, Jesus reminds them of the way in which David violated the letter of the law in order to meet an extraordinary need. This sets up a confrontation between Jesus and the Pharisees about whether or not it is proper to heal on the Sabbath. Jesus does so, elevating Grace above Law, the doing of Good above questions of how, when, or where. As Christians, we can be in danger of becoming like the Pharisees, of elevating the form of religion over the heart, or of defending morality (God, Law, ethics, Truth) in ways that are inconsistent with the character of God (the Fruit of the Spirit). This is not acceptable, to further the Kingdom of God, we need to act in Christ-like ways, no matter what cause we're championing.
