There is a difference between religiosity and spirituality. In Mark 7:1-13, Jesus had an strong encounter with Pharisees and Scribes. Every time we come to church, we bring two things with us: our Bibles, and our traditions. And our traditions are so powerful that they can nullify the effect of God’s Word in our lives. Jesus corrected the religious people of His day because they were placing rules before people, and they thought that all their external rituals would make them righteous. Jesus then explains that there is nothing from the outside that can defile us, but the real problems are caused by the things that come from the inside of us.
