Ex. 20:1-2, 12; Mark 7:1-13 --
The religious leaders sought to criticize Jesus through his disciples because they did not follow the traditions of the elders. Jesus calls out their hypocrisy — though they honored their ancestors with their lips, they did not honor God within their hearts. True honor of our parents, and ultimately our heavenly father, can be accomplished by faith in the Son of God who obeyed to the point of death on the cross on our behalf.

We live in God’s world and He has provided a rule for us to know how to live. This rule for living serves as an ongoing guide for all of us to love God and love one another.
