Jesus Corrects the Jewish Leaders' Abuse of Moses' Law – Mark 7:1–37

In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how, in Mark 7:1–37, we see how Jesus donates correction of terrible mistakes by the leaders of Israel, who have been abusing God's Word, Moses' Law, by making the traditions of men of greater authority than God's Word.

Israel's leadership has the opportunity to receive their Messiah-King's correction, and thus become faithful to the LORD's Word, but they refuse.

As Jesus leaves Israel for a spell, to create distance and diffuse the scandal of Israel's leaders, a Gentile woman comes to Jesus to ask Him to cast a demon out of her daughter. Jesus demonstrates His identity as the Almighty Creator God in that encounter, while teaching critical dispensational truth.
