The Pharisees focus on the outward traditions of men, but Jesus focuses on the heart.
No doubt, many faithful Jews were burdened by the additions and regulations of the Pharisees.
God values the condition and attitude of the heart.
Religious people are in danger of their piety becoming the end goal- not knowing and delighting in God.
Pay attention to your focus. Guard your heart!
Religion < relationship with God.
Father, what is important to you should be important to me. When I get this wrong please set me straight.
