The Character of Jesus – SPIRITUALLY BASIC

Read Mark 7:1-13.

“[Jesus said,] neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of man.” (v. 8)

Jesus did not adhere to the traditions of the Jewish rabbis. He lived only by the word of God, not to any of the additions. He brought other people back to the basics of the spiritual life.

I need to make sure that I live according to the Word, and not according to my southern, Southern Baptist traditions. I want to be purely biblical, which will take study and prayer.
