DAY 249
The Sabbath Was Made for People
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
τὸ σάββατον διὰ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐγένετο, καὶ οὐχ ὁ ἄνθρωπος διὰ τὸ σάββατον
📜 THE VERSE
The day of rest was made for people, not people for the day of rest.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Am I keeping this rule for people's sake, or sacrificing people for the rule's own sake?
📝Reflection
This one sentence overturns the relationship between institutions and human beings. Rules are made to sustain people, but over time the rule itself becomes the goal, and people are squeezed to fit it. To those who scolded the hungry for plucking wheat, this teacher restated the original intent of the rule. Law and institution, tradition and custom — all of these are tools. The moment a tool grows larger than the person it was meant to serve, something has gone wrong.
