Matthew 15:3 – He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Transcript:
And now, Admonition.
Have you ever asked the question, can I disobeyed God? It may seem like a question that doesn’t even need to be asked, but the simple reality is there are those who believe you can not disobey God and there be any consequences or that even God cares about disobedience. But the fact of the matter is, Jesus in Matthew Chapter 15 verse three, he says, why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your traditions? Jesus says, it is not only possible to transgress the commandment of God, but if you look through the remainder of the context, you’re going to find out that Jesus considers that a very great offense, as a sin, as a matter of fact — as something that will destroy our relationship with God.
You can transgress the law of God, you can sin, and you will be held accountable for that sin.
Matthew 15:4 – For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
Transcript:
And now, Admonition.
In Matthew chapter 15 in verse four we read this, For God commanded saying, honor your father and your mother and he who curses father or mother, let him be put to death. Here in this passage, Jesus is quoting the old Testament and Jesus is saying, this is a commandment from God under the law of Moses — under the law that the Jews lived under in Matthew chapter 15 and this was a requirement of God’s people to honor their father and their mother.
But did you realize that this word honor isn’t talking about you? You speak to them respectfully. Oh, it certainly involves that — It involves respect, but that’s not what Jesus is saying — Jesus is saying, and the law was saying, when your parents get to an age where they are in need of your assistance, your help, your support, your financial assistance you provide for them. If you have parents who are older, are you honoring your parents?

What was Jesus positon on the tradition of the Elders? Did Jesus believe any doctrine or word of man that was higher in Jesus’ mind than the word of God?
Scripture:
Matthew 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Transcript:
And now, admonition.
In Matthew Chapter 15 and in verse two the Pharisees asked this question, why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread? This is one of those passages where we identify very clearly in the scripture that Jesus perspective about the tradition of the elders was very different than his perspective about the law of God. Because Jesus will correct their understanding and position on the tradition of the elders. They would hold and value the tradition of the elders, but they would ignore the commands of God. There is no tradition. There is no word. There is no doctrine of men that should ever stand higher in our minds and in our lives than the word of God. We need to be careful to put God’s word where it belongs first in our lives.

Good teachers appreciate honest questions. It is important that we learn to approach the Scriptures with an honest heart and sincere mind always seeking the Truth.

When students come to teachers with honest questions, we value those questions and we take the opportunity to answer those questions with legitimate and proper answers. But these people weren’t coming to Jesus with legitimate questions. They were coming to Jesus with accusations that proved that they did not understand God’s word.
We need to be those who recognize that when we ask questions about God’s word and about God, we need to be honest with our questions and righteous in our hearts.

Deuteronomy 3:18-20 – And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war. But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you; Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.

Deuteronomy chapter three verse 18 we read, hen I commanded you at that time, saying the Lord your God has given you all this land to possess. All you men of Valor shall cross over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel, but your a wives, your little ones and your livestock, I know that you have much livestock, shall stay in your cities, which I have given you, until the Lord has given arrest to your brother and as to you. God tells the two and a half tribes that will stay and live on the other side of the Jordan River, You don’t get to stay over here while your brethren go and fight to take the Promised Land that I promised to you.
We need to learn to prioritize others above ourselves. We need to learn that when others are still working, are still laboring. We don’t need to be sitting back doing nothing. We need to be helping our brethren in the work.
