Limerick
A Pharisee was quite perplexed,
For Jesus had done something unexpected.
He said that it’s not what goes in the mouth,
But what comes out that counts,
And for their hypocrisy he had rejected.

Potential actions to take in response
One practical way to respond to the teaching of the Bible passage Matthew 15:10-20, 21-28 is to strive to always be mindful of our words and actions. Jesus teaches us that what comes out of our mouths can defile us. We should not speak or act in a way that is hateful, gossipy, or negative. Instead, we should always use our words to build each other up and to spread love and compassion. We should also remember that God looks at our hearts, not just our outward appearance. We should strive to have pure hearts and to not judge others based on their status or possessions. This will help us to live lives that please God. As Jesus says in Matthew 7:1, “Judge not, that ye be not judged.”
