Externals
Externals
Matthew 15:3-20
Main Point:
Jesus is not interested in external rituals or meaningless traditions – He wants your heart to honor Him!
What rituals/traditions are you clinging to?
Background – Tradition of the Elders - washing of the hands
Isaiah 29:13
The Example (verses 4-6)
1. Adherence to Externals does not make us clean or unclean – but rather what comes forth in our lives from our heart!
(verse 11)
2. Uncleanness comes forth from our lives out of our fallen hearts – We must deal with our hearts!
James 3:9-12
Scripture References: Matthew 15:3-20 , Isaiah 29:13 , James 3:9-12
