No, I extrapolate that because Jesus was Jewish and attended ceremonies at the temple and performed rituals (like Passover seders) that he was supportive of ritual.  

Ritual is how humans preserve important messages and acts, from the most primitive to the most sophisticated.  Here, you'll understand this, I'm sure:  College graduation ceremonies.  Why not just mail out the diplomas?  Or why not just take classes anonymously, since what is important is the knowledge, right?  Those silly mortar boards and gowns, the speeches, the singing of the alma mater, the procession; wouldn't it be equally as good if people just studied independently?
