Right again. This man has important things to say to all of us.
When Jesus quoted Hosea 6:6 — “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice” — he wasn’t inventing new theology.
He was asking the Pharisees whether they had understood the scripture they claimed to follow.
The purpose of scripture isn’t to make us better adherents to a theological or religious system.
Instead, it’s to make us agents of God’s mercy…
