Scripture
Matthew 9
v. 13 Go learn what this means, "I desire mercy,
not sacrifice." For I came not to call the righteous, but the
sinners.
O - Observation
These are Jesus' words when
people were criticizing him for hanging out with sinners. Jesus gets right to
the point of his ministry on earth. He's here to help those that need it.
He doesn't demand that they or we have to do something to be saved, to live in
eternity with him. Instead he is merciful, and gives us the free gift of
eternal life in heaven. As always, Jesus models how we should live
our life.

Application
Those that sin against us, do we
want them to pay? Do we expect a
sacrifice or do we give them mercy?
P -
Prayer
Jesus, Help me to
emulate you. Help me to desire mercy not sacrifice. Love Will.
