"it enters not the heart but the stomach" -Mark 7:19
| Reading: Mark 7:17-23
Jesus is more concerned about what comes out of the heart than what comes in or out of the stomach. He seems to also be more concerned with compassion for people rather than ritual purity. The actions he refers to all have to do with the way we treat one another: theft, murder, adultery, wickedness, envy…. In what ways do we substitute ritual for love?
