Liberty in Law
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Matthew 12:1-8  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Jesus truly knew God's law and that other concerns (mercy, in this case; verse 7) may sometimes override the strict letter-of-the-law approach the Pharisees used. The Pharisees no doubt thought Jesus a flaming liberal, but to Jesus, He was simply working within the liberty God's law allows (see Psalm 119:45; John 8:31-32; II Corinthians 3:17; James 1:25; I Peter 2:16). David F. Maas Righteousness from Inside-Out

James 1:25  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) What is the law of liberty? Specifically, it is the Ten Commandments, but we can consider it broadly as the law of God. Israel had the benefit of the law of liberty, though they did not use it rightly. John W. Ritenbaugh The Covenants, Grace and Law (Part 23)
