He demonstrates that children (and their parents) are brain damaged and traces it all the way back to Adam and Eve. God tells them to not touch something and they immediately say, "Where is it?" Then when he asks them why they touched it they answer, "I don't know" followed by "She made me do it!"

When his disciples question him about this practice, he quotes Isaiah and explains that though many will hear his words, they will not understand because their hearts are callused. Sadly, he was saying this about people who claimed to be his people. Some of these were people who studied his word constantly and knew it inside out and backwards. Yet, they foolishly thought their rightousness could come from themselves. They could not see that our rightousness comes from God himself. We must be careful that we are reading the scriptures in such a way that our hearts are being softened, that we have asked God for a new heart and for ears that really do hear. Scripture should sharpen that hearing. If we find ourselves becoming hardened then we are reading as the Pharisees and teachers of the law. Heaven forbid!
