Don't go to far with Jesus contradicting the letter of the law with eating and healing. Remember that he said he did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. So what was missing in the law that only he could bring? There have been a lot of answers to that question, but I have one that might not be the common response: life. Life was missing. His life. A life that showed how law, grace, and holiness come together perfectly. The law still matters, the Old Testament has not been kicked out. But there is a way to live that law that includes grace and mercy and all kinds of other things that Jesus was known for. It's more complicated than a simple reading of rules, but it's what our life should look like.
