"But you would not have condemned those who aren't guilty if you know the meaning of this Scripture: 'I want you to be merciful; I don't want your sacrifices'" (Matthew 12:7).
The Pharisees strongly rebuked Jesus for allowing his disciples to, in their eyes, break the law. Jesus' response was to insist that the Pharisees did not understand the heart of God. The religious have always been good, then and now, at pointing out the shortcomings in others. God, on the other hand, has always been good. Yep....He is good!
Today, you and I will likely face the choice of either condemning or showing mercy. We will choose either to be right or to be good.
