“Inside Out”
Mark 7:14-23
Jesus despised external religion. The Law of Moses was a shadow that pointed to the substance yet
to come, and Jesus was the substance who had come. That the Jewish religious leaders continued to
operate out of the law, and press it onto others, was the source of much of Jesus’ corrective teaching.
Here, He upends the idea that we live by an outside-in mentality and describes the Gospel mentality
of living from the inside-out.
These two opposing mentalities rule religious activity …
1. An Outside-In Mentality [7:15a, 18-19]
Picture #1 – “I’ve gotta keep myself clean”
Picture #2 – “My self-control is enough”
(MULTILINE)
2. An Inside-Out Mentality [7:15b, 20-23]
Picture #1 – “I need a new heart”
Picture #2 – “Out of the overflow of my heart”
(MULTILINE)
- For Spiritual Conversation: Where do you most often get stuck in the outside-in mentality?
