The law provided detail and procedure on how the worshiper could become and stay clean (in right standing) with God. It was “instruction in righteousness.”

Christ Jesus placed the focus upon the inner man, his heart, rather than the outward man. He knew you could be appropriate on the outside, but corrupt on the inside. That was hypocrisy.

David said it … “Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.” [Ps. 51:6]

PRAYER: Lord, I want my heart, its meditation, its motives, its desires, to please You. I want to have a pure heart before You and everyone I meet.
