Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
There is a debate among biblical scholars as to whether or not Jesus supported the Law. On the one hand Jesus says the two greatest commandments are to love God and love your neighbor. Those two commandments are a summation of the entire Law of the Old Testament. But on the other hand Jesus says here that in certain cases it is ok to break the Law, if you're going to do something good. And that is the point Jesus is making. Living a righteous life is not about taking only one thousand steps on the Sabbath. Living a righteous life involves the two greatest commandments. I think Jesus would agree with the statement that as long as you truly love God and truly love your neighbor you are living the life God would have you live. Righteousness, holiness, service to God, is about love. God bless,
