Mark 7:8-9
“You disregard God’s commandment but cling to human tradition.” Jesus went on to say, “How well you have set aside the commandment of God in order to uphold your tradition!”

Jesus was quite at home with all people including the people thrown-out by their own religion as well as a wide variety of “sinners.” The only group Jesus had sharp criticism for were the Pharisees…the religious leaders. Rules are nice to have to give us some guidance. But don’t forget that Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to love God with all your heart, soul and mind…and then to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:38-39). These come first. View the world and all that you do…through the lens of love.
