The Jesus Mark Wants You to Know - 28 Days to Become More Intimate With JesusSample
Day 12 - Mark 7:1-23
Hypocrisy Revealed
No matter how many times the Pharisees and religious leaders tried to accuse Jesus of violating the law, He never backed down. In fact Jesus did the opposite by revealing the unarguable hypocrisy in their religious practices.
The Pharisees were confronted with the truth of how their traditions regarding tithing were being used as an excuse to replace God’s law.
Jesus goes beneath the surface of the rules and rituals to expose what’s in our hearts as the true source of our actions. Sin’s origin is within, not without.
Are there any areas of your life where your actions are inconsistent with what you say you believe? Are you making excuses for things that are conflicting with what God requires? Is there anything in your heart that you want to ask God to purify?
