Today's Reading From Mark 7.1-13
The New Testament in One Year Reading Plan
Mark 7.1-23
The Pharisees again challenged Jesus, the Perfect Servant about his disciples eating without unwashed hands. The asked him why the disciples did not follow the traditions of the elders and not washed their hands. Jesus gave a quote from Isaiah 29.13, and gave them examples of how they say one thing but did something else, in this case honoring their parents. They had external form of religion based on traditions that did not reflect an inward change. He gave a parable about what cause sin, it was not what a person ate but rather what came out of his heart. Many of us today, even as Christians can get trapped by a formalism by which we may talk like a Christian and act like a Christian, live in a Christian environment but may not really experience a rebirth in our lives. We may talk the talk but have not walk the walk We should remember what Paul said in 2Cor 5.17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
