| Matthew 12:6-7 |
6 Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Greetings saints,
Greetings saints,
Over the weekend I was overwhelmed with the vast cross references to Matthew 12:6-7. If I can describe the heart and simplicity of God from this passage. He's saying - Put down your religion and go exercise our faith Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Hosea 6:6
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
Micah 6:6-8
6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
