September 14 – Never Will Learn
“But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.” – Matthew 12:7
Had the Pharisees went away from Jesus and pondered His teaching in Matthew 9:13 they would have not be a part to the death of Jesus Christ. Jesus told them to go and do a Bible study and see what He meant by “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.” The Old Testament is a testimony of God’s mercy, His unfailing and ever new mercy to those who deserve judgment. Though we cannot understand fully why and when God gives someone up to their own devices (Read Romans chapter 1), we can appreciate it when it comes to us. The only time the guiltless are in trouble in the Church of Jesus Christ are when the truly guilty want to give their service to the Church rather then their mercy.
