Jesus replied,
"And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
For God said, 'Honour your father and mother...''
Matthew 15:3-4 NIV
Not only did Jesus go to the Bible, He goes to the big stuff...
You're so worried about ceremonial hand washing but what about the big 10? How're you actually going with those?
Don't major on the minors.
How easy to get upset about "the rules" and completely miss the big ticket things...
Jesus knew that no one could perfectly keep the law - not then or now - we can't make ourselves righteous... we need another way.
Washing your hands before dinner is an easy tick the box thing.
Honouring our parents starts with our heart - & that's what Jesus is really after...
