Mark 7:1-4

Mark 7:1-4 
The Message 

  We can approach one another in one of two ways.  We can look for things to criticize, for ways to tear them down, or we can look for things to encourage, ways to build them up.  The Pharisees saw Jesus as a threat, and so they looked to tear him down.  How their lives and their worship might have been enriched if they'd chosen a different approach!  
  We build bridges into the lives of those around us through our words and actions.  May we choose a way of humility and kindness, reaching for encouragement, and in so doing, may we choose to be a people of hope and light in an often dark world.  May we speak of our hope and live out our hope, inviting others to come and see what God is doing in our lives and in the world.
