When Obeying The Bible Misses The Point I Adrian Jackson

When Obeying the Bible Misses the Point What if you could follow the Bible… and still miss the heart of God? In Mark 3:1–6, Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath and sparks a confrontation with religious leaders who believe they are defending God’s law. But Jesus exposes a deeper problem. It is possible to protect a rule while ignoring the purpose behind it. It is possible to defend Scripture and still harm people. This message explores a hard truth: sometimes the way we read the Bible can produce the opposite of what God intended. Jesus doesn’t reject the law. He fulfils it. He brings it to its intended goal. And that goal is not rigid rule-keeping but restoration, mercy, and life. In this teaching we look at: • Why Jesus clashed with religious leaders over the Sabbath • The real meaning of “I have not come to abolish the Law but to fulfil it” • How interpretations of the Bible can either restore people or crush them • The crucial question Jesus asks when interpreting Scripture • Why theology is never abstract — it always lands on human lives This is not about rejecting the Bible. It is about learning to read it the way Jesus did. If Scripture is meant to bring life, then every interpretation must ask: What does this produce in the real world? ⸻ 📍 Restore Church – Castle Hill, Sydney A community exploring faith, doubt, and the way of Jesus. 🔗 Learn more about Restore Church https://restorechurch.com.au ⸻ 👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations about faith, Scripture, and following Jesus in a complex world.
