If ever there was a time in Jesus’ ministry where He was clearly frustrated with His disciples, this was it. He asked them why they did not understand when it became clear they had not grasped all He had taught them about how the mouth defiles a man. Some translations are a little more blunt, quoting Jesus as asking, “Why are you so dull?” Unlike the Jewish leaders, who fanatically practiced and taught defilement from what goes IN the mouth, Jesus taught it’s what comes OUT of the mouth because the source is a person’s defiled heart! What Jesus asked here is a telling question when we ask it of ourselves. Pastor Greg offers ways to do so and grow spiritually.
