Musing Through Matthew-Commandment Vs Tradition

Let us muse again today from Matthew 15:1-3 and  the theme of Jesus the king. In our text today we find truth on the subject of commandment versus tradition. The scribes and Pharisees pose a question to our Lord  about His disciples washing their hands in religious ceremonies. They acted as if it were law when it was nothing more than a tradition. He answers their question with a question. The question tells us that they are transgressing command with their traditions. There is so many rules in the Baptist Church that are nothing more than tradition. Let us be careful in imposing our traditions as law  on another is a very dangerous thing.
