God and His Law

My pastor gave this to us this morning:

The Genesis account tells us that God made the world in 6 days and on the 7th day He rested. Then later God gave the 10 commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai and God instructed the people to observe them. Ok, here is the kicker..one of those is:

"You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest. - Exodus 34:21

Jesus in John chapter 5 heals a man on the Sabbath and tells the man to pickup his bed and walk. Later in the chapter the Jews accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath law by telling the man to pickup his bed and walk. The reasoning of religious leaders on this was that Jesus was telling the man to "work". Work here was the literal action of carrying of his bed.

When Jesus was confronted he accusation; "Jesus therefore answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner." - John 5:19

So in essence Jesus has stated the Father was working this day and he knew the Father was working so he joined Him in that work. So the question is:

"Does God break His own Law?"

Now before you get all up in arms there is a Theological answer, but for now I will let you chew on that one.....
