Before even knowing what this issue is, it is interesting that Jesus isn\u2019t challenged about His own actions, but about the actions of those around Him.<\/p>\r\n<p>Seeing how this passage is framed seems to tell us that Jesus actually obeyed the custom that the Pharisees were concerned about. Otherwise, these Pharisees would challenge Jesus and His followers on the idea that they all were breaking the custom in question.<\/p>\r\n<p>What custom were the Pharisees concerned with? Let\u2019s read the passage and find out.<\/p>\r\n<p>Our passage is found in Matthew\u2019s gospel, chapter 15, and we will read from the Contemporary English Version. Starting in verse 1, Matthew tells us that:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>1\u00a0<\/sup>About this time some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem. They asked Jesus,\u00a0<sup>2\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cWhy don\u2019t your disciples obey what our ancestors taught us to do? They don\u2019t even wash their hands before they eat.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>3\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus answered:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Why do you disobey God and follow your own teaching?\u00a0<sup>4\u00a0<\/sup>Didn\u2019t God command you to respect your father and mother? Didn\u2019t he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents?\u00a0<sup>5\u00a0<\/sup>But you let people get by without helping their parents when they should. You let them say that what they have has been offered to God.\u00a0<sup>6\u00a0<\/sup>Is this any way to show respect to your parents? You ignore God\u2019s commands in order to follow your own teaching.\u00a0<sup>7\u00a0<\/sup>And you are nothing but show-offs! Isaiah the prophet was right when he wrote that God had said,<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>8\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cAll of you praise me<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0with your words,<br>\r\nbut you never really<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0think about me.<br>\r\n<sup>9\u00a0<\/sup>It is useless for you<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0to worship me,<br>\r\nwhen you teach rules<br>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0made up by humans.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>10\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus called the crowd together and said, \u201cPay attention and try to understand what I mean.\u00a0<sup>11\u00a0<\/sup>The food that you put into your mouth doesn\u2019t make you unclean and unfit to worship God. The bad words that come out of your mouth are what make you unclean.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>12\u00a0<\/sup>Then his disciples came over to him and asked, \u201cDo you know that you insulted the Pharisees by what you said?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>13\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus answered, \u201cEvery plant that my Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled up by the roots.\u00a0<sup>14\u00a0<\/sup>Stay away from those Pharisees! They are like blind people leading other blind people, and all of them will fall into a ditch.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>15\u00a0<\/sup>Peter replied, \u201cWhat did you mean when you talked about the things that make people unclean?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>16\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus then said:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t any of you know what I am talking about by now?\u00a0<sup>17\u00a0<\/sup>Don\u2019t you know that the food you put into your mouth goes into your stomach and then out of your body?\u00a0<sup>18\u00a0<\/sup>But the words that come out of your mouth come from your heart. And they are what make you unfit to worship God.\u00a0<sup>19\u00a0<\/sup>Out of your heart come evil thoughts, murder, unfaithfulness in marriage, vulgar deeds, stealing, telling lies, and insulting others.\u00a0<sup>20\u00a0<\/sup>These are what make you unclean. Eating without washing your hands will not make you unfit to worship God.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In this passage and challenge, some Pharisees come with a somewhat innocent sounding question about hand washing, but Jesus understands that their question is really a question about why He teaches them to disregard tradition and custom. Jesus answers their underlying challenge while also warning people to stay away from this style of belief.<\/p>\r\n<p>The big truth we can learn from this passage and from Jesus\u2019 warning is that <strong>any tradition that disagrees with God\u2019s Word must be ignored, adjusted, or discarded in favor of obeying God\u2019s Word above anything else.<\/strong> And, while it is more difficult to do, we only truly know what God\u2019s Word says when we study it for ourselves. This is why I repeatedly challenge each of us on this podcast to personally pray and study the Bible for yourself. It is too easy to simply follow someone else because they sound like they know what they are talking about.<\/p>\r\n<p>An emphasis on tradition over God\u2019s truth leads people into the exact trap Jesus warned against in this passage. Jesus describes these Pharisees in verse 6 as people who \u201c<strong>ignore God\u2019s commands in order to follow <\/strong>[their]<strong> own teaching.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The other temptation in this passage is to think Jesus was strictly talking about food and clean verses unclean foods. This is not the case. Instead, this passage is focused on being fit for worship, and the food we eat does not change how fit we are to worship God.<\/p>\r\n<p>In the Old Testament, God gave the Jewish people detailed instructions regarding clean and unclean foods, and while this teaching gets wrapped up as a spiritual message, the primary reason for this is more for health than it is for spirituality. <strong>Jesus does not make the dietary regulations in the Old Testament void with His statement. Instead, He draws our attention to the truth that our diet does not impact how fit we are to worship God.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In Jesus\u2019 challenge to the people present, He places the emphasis on worship. This doesn\u2019t mean that we ignore what we put into our mouths. Instead, this means we must be extra careful about what comes out of our mouths, because what comes out of our mouths comes from our hearts. <strong>When we worship, we offer our hearts as a gift to God, but we also want our gift to be pleasing to God.<\/strong> This means <strong>we must protect our hearts from things that would taint, stain, or damage our hearts, because this ultimately damages our gift to God.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>A similar example is giving a gift to a friend. If we purchase a brand new item at the store that our friend really wants and needs, would we take this item home, open it up, use it many times, stain it, damage it, break it, and then ultimately package up the not-so-perfect-anymore gift for our friend. <em>Would our used and abused gift show our friend how much we value his friendship?<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>Or, would we purchase this item, and save it in as perfect as a condition as we can until we can give it to our friend in its new condition.<\/p>\r\n<p>I hope you would agree with me that we would try to keep our gift in as great a condition as we can. It is the same way with our hearts. While not everyone wants to give their heart to God, when we choose to place our faith, hope, trust, and belief in Jesus, we are giving ourselves to Him and we are promising Jesus our hearts. While our hearts may be stained, damaged, and abused by sin already, when we come to God, we can ask Him to create in us clean, new hearts, and God is willing to repair and recreate our hearts from the inside. When God has created new hearts for us, we now have a gift that is worth protecting. Our new-heart-gift from God is valuable to God, and we are called and challenged to keep this gift safe.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>God has called us to follow Him, to place our faith, hope, trust, and belief in Jesus, and to obey His commands. We are to place following God above the rules and traditions of humanity.<\/strong> While there are many areas where we can do both, whenever there is a conflict between God\u2019s rules and humanities rules, the safest choice from eternity\u2019s perspective is to choose God\u2019s way and to obey Him, regardless of what the consequences are in this life. <strong>No matter what consequences come in our lives because we chose to follow God, they will be worth it when Jesus returns and gives us our rewards.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As we come to the end of another podcast episode, here are the challenges I will leave you with:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>As I always challenge you to do, intentionally seek God first in your life and place His Word, His will, and His ideal ahead of ourselves. Choose to obey God\u2019s rules over humanities traditions, and if there is ever a conflict, choose to obey God rather than man. Humanity\u2019s rules change each year, each decade, and each generation, while God\u2019s rules are eternal. When we obey God\u2019s rules and we live a life of God\u2019s love, we keep our hearts clean and pure and fit to offer God as a part of our worship to Him!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Also, continue praying and studying the Bible for yourself to grow closer to God each and every day. Focus on growing a personal relationship with God and intentionally make your relationship personal. While other people can give us ideas to think about, always take these ideas to God in prayer and ask Him if they are worth paying attention to. Above everything else, trust God\u2019s Word as He has revealed it in the Bible because if you trust God to keep you safe for eternity, He is more than capable of keeping His Word safe for a few thousand years of human history.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>And as I end every set of challenges by saying in one way or another, never stop short of, back away from, chicken out of, or be ridiculed out of where God wants to lead you to in your life with Him!<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Flashback Episode:<\/strong> \r\nYear in Matthew &#8211; Episode 27: Following an innocently sounding question, Jesus challenges the Pharisees about where their hearts are and how they are more willing to disobey God to obey tradition.
