The Sanitation Disposal Of Our Hearts

Today Scripture passage comes from

Mark 7:1-23 KJV
(1) Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
(2) And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
(3) For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
(4) And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
(5) Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
(6) He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
(7) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
(8) For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
(9) And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
(10) For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
(11) But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
(12) And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
(13) Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
(14) And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
(15) There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
(16) If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
(17) And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
(18) And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
(19) Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
(20) And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
(21) For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
(22) Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
(23) All these evil things come from within, and defile the man..

The purging of the heart can only begin with the repentance of man. Mankind throughout the ages have broken everyone of God's laws. Should a son or daughter be killed because of cursing their parents or should they obey the law of man and the parents not receive any support from their children. The error of a child is often overlooked did they never know and understand the law. God law says do not kill. Yet if someone kills the child for the cursing he has sinned as well. Is both laws forgiveable by God, is both laws forgiveable by the parent.

Now let back up Jesus does not deal with the issue of the law until start first talking about outward cleaniliness. Traditions of man often cause a disturbance when people do not meet certain standards. The washing of hands before a meal by Jewish tradition made a man clean and dirty hands defile a man. Is cleanness so sacred that if you starving with no water one will not eat? Is tradition so important that one would not feed a homeless person. If a homeless person is trying to share a meal with you and you did not bring it or buy, I guarantee that you probably will reject the food he found in the street, garabage can or who knows where, unless you are homeless too. Is the sanitation of our world making us sick. Sanitation of waste is sent to a cess pool after being cleansed of harmful bacteria. Yet if it used on our food supply for manure is it hurting our crops and vegetation. Manure from cows fresh off the farm is also use to fertilze soil without processing it. Manure has been used for millions of years, and yet no one ask what is hormone ejections in cows doing to our soil is it effecting our crops because of the manure used on crops. People worry about bacteria and crops but seldom worry about other things that could be effecting plants and our natural resources of food. In truth our bodies naturally purge all impurities from it. Even in the times of illness our bodies go in overdrive to purge disease from us.

Jesus purges our heart through the word of God. The things the defile a person begins in the heart and is a desire, longing, want or even an idea. The I never did that before let see how that works. No wrong is ever began with okay let us just do it, it more like knowing something wrong but trying it anyway with or without time of consideration of the consequences of that wrong.

After receiving Christ as Lord, one is a new creation in Christ but the mud of this world still gets on us. One needs to allow Christ the Word God to continue the sanitation process of our hearts. It is the mud that ruin a Christian purity. The impurities that effects our relationship with God. Abraham relationship continued despite having two wives. Yet the second wife was because of lack of faith in God to perform a miracle with Abraham aged wife Sarah. Yet God still performed a miracle of Sarah giving birth despite the sin. Did our sin keep God away, no. Adam and Eve hid from God in the garden of Eden. God did not hide from us. He did not walk away from us because of our failure. The human instinct is to run from a perfect God. Even Israel ran when they heard God's voice after the commandments were given. They requested Moses to be their intercessor, but Moses was only a man. God spoke through Moses to the people. It interesting to think only one man every was lost from God his name is Cain, for God cast him out of his sight. God even talks to Satan in the story of Job. God's willingness to talk to us does not change the fact sin keeps us separated from God. Sin caused our separation from God in the original sin of man. Without God's salvation plan the separation between man and God still exist, that why Jesus came and died for our sins to be payment for our sins and then rose to victory. Through the washing and regeneration of the word of God in our lives, our lives become spotless and free from sin, yet it is a continual process called sanctification. Jesus uses the digestive process to show how God must purify our hearts from sin through repentance. That our sin can not remain.The knowledge of sin we do is death but the act of repentance and allowing Him to change us sanitizes us from sin. Even when we do sin we have an advocator called Jesus. Someone that intercedes for us. Saying Father forgive them. Yet we must receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to receive forgiveness of sin.
