Mark 7 is about a group of people who question Jesus’ disciples about why they do not follow Jewish traditions of washing their hands before eating. Jesus responds by teaching them that it is not what goes into a person’s body that makes them unclean, but what comes out of their heart.
The emojis represent the people gathered, their prayer and cleansing rituals, the bread and wine of the Communion, the importance of physical and spiritual health, and the role of healers and medicine.
A related verse from John 6:35 says, "Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’" 🍞🍷🧑⚕️🙏🏼
