Matthew 15:10,11

Matthew 15:10,11 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Jesus brought up an interesting point in our verses for today: which is more important? what goes into your mouth, or what comes out of your mouth? Jesus immediately said that what comes out of your mouth is much more important than what goes into your mouth. What you say to others is way more important than what you eat! That doesn’t mean that you can eat or drink anything. You should be careful what you eat and drink. Jesus was just telling the people - and telling us - that what we say is more important. Remember the kids’ song? “Oh, be careful little tongue, what you say. For the Father up above, is looking down in love. So be careful little tongue, what you say.”
