It seems that God takes us through a process of unlearning before new learning takes place. Moses for example had to unlearn violent leadership before learning how to shepherd Israel to the promised land. In the book of Acts, we find Peter and the rest of the first generation Jewish believers unlearning Gentile exclusion before they learned to spread the gospel across the Roman Empire. Paul constantly struggled to bring unlearning of legalism before learning of the freedom in Christ could take place.

I am no prophet, but it seems as though Jesus is stirring at least two major issues of unlearning in mass amongst his followers: 1) separation from and belittling toward the poor, and 2) dependence on Sunday morning.
