The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath

Mark 2:27(Jesus said to Pharisees ““The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath”)
                27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Ex 23:12(Sabbath was created for man so that his entire household can take rest)
                12 “Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the slave born in your household and the foreigner living among you may be refreshed.
Deut 5:14(Sabbath was created for man so that his entire household can take rest)
            14 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do.

Col 2:16(we should not judge anyone by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day)
                16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
Gal 4:10(we should not be enslaved by religious practices)
9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces[d]? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? 10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
We learn the following from the above verses
1)      We should not be controlled by nitty-gritty religious things
2)      Jesus said to Pharisees ““The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath”
3)      Sabbath was created for man so that his entire household can take rest
4)      We should not judge anyone by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day
5)      We should not be enslaved by religious practices
