Parables of Jesus --- Matthew 15:1-20 \nWhile this passage may seem like the beginnings of a debate on hygiene, Jesus\u2019s rebuke of the Pharisees is at the crux of his continued frustration with them. They positioned that unclean hands on food, in the absence of ritual cleaning, could directly defile the soul. An otherwise healthy tradition then becomes a weapon of judgement honed by piety and loose interpretation. Jesus turns that upside down. What defiles you comes from INSIDE you. That which is in your heart. What you think, what you feel, what you do\u2026They are the measure of who you are; what truly sanctifies and defiles you. Ritual can focus us, true. But it can\u2019t save us. And that\u2019s where Jesus comes in. \nConnect Card - https://lovechapelhill.com/about-us/c...\nAll Things Sunday - https://lovechapelhill.com/sunday\nGive - https://lovechapelhill.com/give
