Do You Get It? I Hear Voices

In chapter 15 of Matthew, we see the ever-growing estrangement between Jesus and the religious elite of his day. The haters had already determined they would do what ever was necessary to eliminate Him. So, there was urgency in the air for Jesus to help His followers understand His mission and teachings. For close to two years they heard him teach and preach. And yet they still had trouble breaking free from their religious traditions and legalism.
