Mark 7:10

"He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition."

Key Reflection

Jesus rebukes the religious leaders for prioritizing their own traditions over God's commandments, highlighting the spiritual blindness that leads to rejecting divine truth in favor of man-made rules. This tension between God’s law and human tradition underscores the need for true spiritual insight and submission to God’s will.
