Matthew 15-do you wash your hands?

Good morning everyone!!! A very nice and pleasant day to be one of God's children. I burned some midnight oil doing some work for the church last night, and you know, time flew by while doing work for the Lord. It was funny, when I finished I went to check my email and suddenly was tired. Isn't it amazing how we can do something we really enjoy and not get tired? Doing work for the Lord is not just a pleasure, but a privilege. If going to read your Bible is a chore, drudgery, stopping to pray is a pain, reading a devotional whether it be internet, email, or a book, takes too long.......then.......HOUSTON----WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!! In Matthew 15, I won't quote it all, YOU take the TIME to read it; Jesus rebukes the scribes and Pharisees. They are giving Jesus a hard time, or tying to anyway, because Jesus disciples violated the "tradition of the elders" by not washing their hand when they eat bread. Well, do you know what Jesus said to them? Read you Bible!!!! Goodbye...just kidding. Jesus told them God cammanded honour they father and mother, whoever curseth his father or mother shall die the death. Whoever honours his father and mother shall be free. Jesus continues, telling the scribes and Pharisees that their tradition has basically nulified this commandment. Jesus quote Isaiah's prophesy; 'these people say they honor me, but their hearts are far away. Their worship is worthless, for they teach their man made laws instead of those from God. Jesus tells the crowd you are not unholy by eating non-kosher food. It is what you say and think that make you unclean. The disciples came and told Jesus he offended the scribes and Pharisees...duh.... Jesus responded....every plant not planted by my Father shall be rooted up, leave them alone if the blind leads the blind both shall fall in the ditch. So, here comes Peter, what do you mean Jesus? what are you saying? Sometimes Jesus has to get REAL SIMPLE for his disciples ya know. Jesus responds to Peter (in Holcombism) Dawg, don't cha get it? Anything you eat zips on through, the digestive tract man, then it is out, gone, good bye. Bad, evil words come from an evil heart and the dude that says them is defiled. Evil, bad, nasty thoughts come from this type of man, but there is no spiritual defilement from eating without going through a 'ritual of ceremonial handwashing.' So, to end (aren't you glad), are you ceremonial washing hands, following tradition, loaded with an evil heart? Or, are you eating the bread without washing your hands, but your body is nourished? Take in the bread of life, the word, the good book, move from the milk to the meat. I have rambled on, please respond, tell me where I have errored, tell me I am wrong and to search further. Let's grow together. Love you all.In Christ's Love and GraceJohnny
