“Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.”
Mark 7:13 KJV
Jesus nailed this problem two thousand years ago of putting tradition before the Word of God. Tradition, of doing that same thing as did the forefathers down the ages without understanding or meaning, has held people and even nations captive. It is the Word of God that destroys tradition. When this is preached to simple folk who have no hope and they understand the hope of the good news, receiving it with joy, their lives are transformed. Thank God that we were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from our vain conversation received by tradition from our fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Let’s break tradition’s hold on us and give the good news of Jesus to the perishing souls by sharing the Word of God.
