Gospel of Mark - Mark 7:14-36 - Prog 33

To sum up, our Lord turns to the people giving them a heads-up on the differences between eating and sinning. Well His disciples wanted further instruction as to what He meant by the parable. The Lord Jesus was amazed that even the disciples did not understand the difference between the material and the spiritual, between eating food which goes into the stomach and is flushed away and the sins which come from the heart of a person and defiles them before God. Mark goes on to show an incident in the region of Tyre on the north coast. Here the Lord Jesus honors the faith of a gentile woman. The Lord answers her request even though she was not under the covenant of Israel. Christ honors faith in Him wherever it is found. Here is Dr. Mitchell, Mark 7:14, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unchanging-word/message
