Latest Word@Work

Matthew 15:15-20
Peter said, 'Explain the parable to us.' 'Are you still so dull?' Jesus asked them. 'Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person's mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts - murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.' (NIVUK)

Jesus hated, and still hates, lies and hypocrisy - they are the words of the devil (John 8:44) which Jesus came to destroy (1 John 3:8).  The religious leaders had created a system of 'holiness' which depended on obeying complex rules.  The message they gave was that if people could discipline themselves enough, to achieve 'good marks in the tests', then they could consider themselves 'holy'.  In Matthew 15:1-20 the 'rule', which was considered so important, was the obsessive washing of hands to avoid getting dirt into the body.
