The Lord of the Sabbath speaks.
The Servant anointed by the Spirit is revealed.
The King draws a line of allegiance.

Why does Jesus declare Himself Lord of the Sabbath?
Why does mercy stand at the center of God’s desire?
Why do the Pharisees accuse Him of working by demonic power?
What does it mean that the Kingdom of God has come upon them?

What does the sign of Jonah reveal about His mission?
Who truly belongs to the family of Christ?
