Mercy over Sacrifice

Matt 9:13 Go & learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, & not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. Matt 12:7 If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent. Matt 5:7 (ESV) Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.— Mercy is an act of kindness, favor or compassion.” Mercy is love that responds in an undeserving way! Mercy comes from the freedom & the strength that God’s truth reveals. It is often stated that when “mercy & truth have met, then righteousness & peace have kissed.” When we choose to be merciful, we are shining God’s light into darkness! Mercy is what God desires!
