--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

GOD’S WORD VERSUS TRADITION

Date: Thursday, September 22, 2022

Bible Text: Mark 7:1-13

Memory Verse: You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions. Mark 7:8, NIV

Elaborate ceremonies of washing of hands to the elbow, cups, pitchers, kettles, and beds were not actually commanded in the Law of Moses but were a tradition of the Pharisees to maintain purity and holiness. Pharisees regard their oral traditions as equal in authority with the written Law of Moses, and so they expected all Jews to obey. They teach that people get defiled by physical contact with things, and need to wash their hands to maintain cleanliness before eating.

The Pharisees and teachers of the law accused Jesus’ disciples of being ritually unclean because they did not observe the Pharisees’ ritual cleansing. However, the response of Jesus shows the Pharisees were spiritually unclean. Jesus called His critics hypocrites (actors) who followed traditions of men that contradict God’s Word, and whose lip confession does not match the attitude of their hearts, and this makes them offer vain worship. For Jesus, true worship involves drawing near to God with a pure heart, not just with mere words of praise from your lips.

Do you find it easier to ignore and reject God’s Word and embrace the traditions of men? Whenever you bend God’s Word to justify the sinful way you live, it is called hypocrisy.

Insight: God’s Word is the real truth to accept and follow.

Prayer: LORD, I accept your Word as the final authority over my life.

RBT Passage: Micah 1-4
