Eating with Jesus Part 4
In this next meal scene, Jesus once again dines in the home of a Pharisee. And, once again, Jesus does not prove to be a very predictable dinner guest. The Pharisee looks on with contempt as Jesus fails to wash his hands before eating. This launches Jesus into a tirade about the nature of religion and hypocrisy. The view that we see if Jesus in this story is very different from the view that most people today have of Jesus.

In this day and age, religion and Christianity in general are commonly viewed as a set of rules and regulations that must be followed, a certain lifestyle that must be lived or a proper way of showing yourself to the world. In reality, true Christianity is a personal relationship with Christ that results in changed lives. Even though the Pharisees were regarded as the highest examples of religious men in their society because of their outward appearance, Jesus called them hypocrites because they lacked the all important inward relationship with God.
