"If you knew what this meant, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned these innocent men." Matthew 12:7
How many of us have said, "Lord, have mercy on me a sinner." And God does have mercy on us for He has walked the walk that we each walked. Jesus was condemned, ignored, rejected and He still went to the cross for those same people, now that is sacrifice. In our own lives do we have mercy upon others that have wronged us or did the same things that was done to Jesus? We can harbor ill feelings upon others that doesn't bring about the Kingdom of God, rather it condemns the Kingdom for we are all children of God. So the next time you are in the presence of Christ, ask Him what is the meaning of, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice.", and listen to what He is telling you, it will be a whisper but will speak volumes.
Dear Father God, I could jump for joy this morning being with You, I thank You for always being there even when it didn't seem like it. Give us the meaning of mercy, make it real in our own lives. May the Holy Spirit reveal to us the mysteries of the Kingdom so we may be the bearer of Your fruit. Bless this day Lord and change hearts so they maybe able to see the Risen Christ. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of the Persecuted, pray for us.
