Getting It Right on the Inside (Mark 7:1-7, 14-15, 21-23)
But Jesus knows the dangers of sounding righteous and pure, while you’re secretly wallowing in cruelty and exclusion—of saying one thing in the breathy tones of piety or patriotism, while simultaneously doing what you need to in order to retain power and influence. In other words, you better get it right on the inside first … because the inside is where God is, and the inside is where God is calling you to throw open the doors and invite everyone, to embrace those who are different from you, to love those who look and talk in ways that are foreign to you, those who make you uncomfortable because you’re positive they don’t meet your exacting standards of propriety and decorum, those you’re sure God can’t possibly love the way they are.
