The wisdom of Jesus: Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Matthew 15:13

After the first multiplication of the loaves, Jesus met some Pharisees who criticized him because his disciples did not wash before eating; and so Jesus, knowing the intention of the Pharisees, gave an important teaching about what is pure and impure in the doctrine of the Kingdom of God, the dominion or empire of God's perfections.
Jesus with wisdom taught, as recounted in the Gospel of Saint Matthew, that what is pure and impure depends on the intentions of the heart, or in other words, of the discernments of people's minds, and not on the compliance with strict religious norms, and with these words the Gospel relates the fact:
"Jesus called the crowd to him and said, ´Listen and understand. What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.´" Matthew 15:10-11.
But the gospel relates that the disciples continued with the discussion, and so Jesus warned them of the teachings of the Pharisees; because they were people who did not fear God, that is, people who did not have the eyes to see the world with the gaze of God:
"Then the disciples came to him and asked, ´Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?´
He replied, ´Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.´" Matthew 15:12-14.
This teaching of Jesus showed the importance of that grace from above, the spiritual gift of fear of God (firmness, constancy, devotion); because without that grace men cannot see or hear, that is, perceive with the mind, that wisdom that surrounds men like a hidden treasure, and that gives men that true life and spiritual guide to know the ways of the creator of all things. Without this grace, men, like true blind people, follow an uncertain path where they do not know when a destructive unforeseen event will arrive, and like any vineyard that does not bear fruit, they will end up thrown into a cruel fate.
