The religious leaders in Jesus' day loved to knit-pick about the rules of the Law. They sent a delegation from Headquarters in Jerusalem to investigate what Jesus and his disciples were up to; after hearing of the miracles like the feeding of the 5,000. Jesus called them hypocrites; more concerned with external things. He taught his disciples that what comes out of the heart is what makes us unclean, not what goes into our mouths. Mike reminds us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control; and against such things there is no law.
