The first example I think of was when the Pharisees wanted the disciples to wash their hands.
Jesus was not concerned.
Healing on the Sabbath Day was another…
And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit,
and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? Luke 14:5
Examples fill the scriptures.
David who at the shewbread when he was hungry.
Michal who was angry that David danced before the Lord.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego choosing not to bow to the god of the King even though it was law.
The list goes on and on.
God requires obedience, which is better than sacrifice.
And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22
This does not mean we should not obey God’s commands.
What it means is that we cannot always do so and God does not want us caught up in legalism.
He wants us to be free to serve Christ, to carry our cross
and to disobey man’s perceptions of what it means to follow Christ.
We have no excuses to not obey the word of God. We have no excuses to sin.
Sometimes, obedience to God might be different than our interpretation of scripture.
It is important to be listening to the Holy Spirit, which can be different from what we are taught by men.
