🌿 Breaking Commandments for Tradition? | Lenten Devotion by Rev. Dr. M. T. Cherian 🌿

In today's Lenten reflection, Rev. Dr. M. T. Cherian unpacks the powerful words of Jesus from Matthew 15:3 —
“And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?”

This piercing question was addressed to the Pharisees, but it echoes through the ages into our own hearts and practices today. Are we unknowingly allowing tradition to override the clear commandments of God?

🔹 What happens when human customs take precedence over divine truth?
🔹 Are our religious routines aligned with God's heart?
🔹 How can we return to authentic obedience in this Lenten season?

Jesus calls us to go beyond empty rituals and return to the spirit of God's Word. This message is a wake-up call to examine our lives, worship, and values—especially in a season of repentance and renewal.

📖 Key Takeaways:
✅ Understanding the conflict between tradition and truth
✅ Learning to prioritize God's commandments over cultural expectations
✅ A call to heart-centered obedience this Lent

Let us humble ourselves, return to God’s Word, and seek His transforming grace. May this Lenten devotion draw us closer to His will.

🙏 Join us in prayer and reflection. Let this season be one of genuine spiritual renewal.
