Man and the Sabbath

So, there is plenty of description throughout Scripture of the Sabbath being a day of rest and work not being allowed. In the New Testament, Jesus and the disciples are out walking and pick food out of the fields to eat. This was/is work and thus was a violation of the Laws regarding the sanctity of the Sabbath day. A sanctity that is backed up by it being the very day that God himself rested from his work and did no labor. This was a pretty serious thing - and still is for very many.
But Jesus' response was a question. Was the Sabbath made for man, or man for the Sabbath?
What does this mean to you? Have you come to grips with what Jesus is saying?
BTW, comments are not allowed on this post. This is meant as rhetorical and for each of us to consider. Which are you more like? Jesus and the disciples, or the Pharisees who were questioning their violation of God's Law (or at least the "modern" interpretation of it).
