Mark 7:1-23, March 9
Mark 7:1-23
Reflections from the Senior High Sunday School class members: Abby Talton, Solomon Hutelmyer, Will Leist, and Porter Liljestrand
In this chapter, Jesus says that the Ten Commandments still apply in the New Covenant, while the many man-made rules ( from the Pharisees) are not important. He also explains that it is not the food you put into your body that can make you unclean. Jesus tells us that sometimes we worry about the wrong things. Jesus’ disciples were criticized and accused of sin for not washing properly before eating. Instead of focusing on our foods and rituals, we should focus on our thoughts and what’s in our hearts. A clean heart and pure thoughts are pleasing to God.
