Mark 2:23-28 Man was not Made for the Sabbath

²³And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. ²⁴And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? ²⁵And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? ²⁶How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? ²⁷And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: ²⁸Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. -Mark 2:23-28 Bible, King James Version

This suggests several things to me. Firstly we need to live the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law. Some people get so caught up in trying to live their lives according to the rules laid down by their religious leaders that they are no longer living a spiritual life. To me the essence of living a spiritual life is to fill our hearts with Divine Love and then allow this to flow into everything we do. Secondly when Jesus teaches the orthodox priests that; "the Son of man is Lord... of the sabbath" this suggests to me that it is more important to follow the Ascended Masters, Who are the Sons of God, than it is to go to church on Sunday and follow the orthodox priests.
