You see, The Lord Wants Both... Righteous Actions Done by a Righteous Heart. How is the heart cleansed, the Word! How do we keep from the sin of Traditionalism? Standing on the Word of God alone!

But God is not about the ways and plans of humanity... So notice, while He was sending the multitude away, His objective in this was to put an end to the misdirected exhilaration of their ideas... and an idea the disciples themselves may have been somewhat drawn to. How often God has to protect us from ourselves?
