Mark 7:1–23 We Need Jesus to Wash Us

Excerpt

According to Jesus, our holiness problem is deep inside ourselves, not something that's primarily external. And our wisdom is not sufficient to devise a way of escape for ourselves. And, ultimately, our washings only go skin deep. The purifications we invent for ourselves do nothing to cleanse the impurity of our hearts. We need Jesus to wash us.
