Clean Hands vs. Unclean Heats
Jan 4, 2026 • Pastor Ryan
What does it mean for the disciples to eat with "unclean hands"?
Why were the Pharisees questioning Jesus about the unclean hands of the disciples?
How did the "tradition of the elders" become like divine law to the Pharisees and those who followed them?
Do we see parallels to this in the traditions of Christians today? Even in traditions we hold dear?
Do Christians today have any traditions that sneakily circumvent commands given by God, voiding the word of God with the word of man, as Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for doing?
According to Jesus, what things truly defile a person? From where do the evils that make our hearts unclean come?
