Commandments vs the Traditions of the Jewish Elders
Matt 15:1, 2 Who came to ask Jesus questions? Pharisees and Scribes from Jerusalem

law.

God (
the ONE
true God) said we should
honor our parents !

it mean to honor your parents? Honor: to price to fix a high value upon To
regard with respect and reverence; to reverence; to revere.
Why did
Jesus choose this Commandment? He values relationships – loving & obeying those over us
from the heart. God the Father Longs,
Desires, Wants to have a relationship with us where we long to get to know
Him! We get to know and understand His
Heart! We get to know what brings Him
pleasure, we understand His Word and His Ways!

replace Elohim’s Word with the traditions of men and become blind and have a
negative impact on those we know and love!
