reMARKable JESUS – Mark 7:1-23
#1 THE CRITICAL ATTITUDE OF THE RELIGIOUS vv. 1-5
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?Jeremiah 17:9 (NIV)
#2 STRONG WORDS FOR THE CRITICAL vv. 6-13
The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. Isaiah 29:13 (NIV)
#3 CRUCIAL TEACHING ABOUT SIN vv. 14-23
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:18-19 (NIV)
#4 RESCUE: THIS IS WHY JESUS CAME.
So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! Romans 7:21-25 (NIV)
