It’s Not Magic

When it came to trying to trick Jesus or His followers, the Pharisees had something up their sleeves. They taught that holiness would vanish into thin air if people ate before completing ritual handwashing in exactly the right way. What’s more, they said that anyone helping himself  out of the same serving bowl as a handwashing scofflaw would become unclean, too. Surely, they said, the Messiah would know the rules passed down from the time of Moses (and vastly elaborated along the way). Jesus undoubtedly had nothing against a quick washing up before dinner, but He taught about purity of heart. Click here for more on this topic and others in your September bulletin.
