I find this
statement by Jesus a bit puzzling.
Matthew 23:23(NKJV)
“Woe to you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the
weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to
have done, without leaving the others undone.
Where do we find
mercy in the law? I thought that was
part of why Jesus came, to add mercy because that was missing from the
law. The law is pretty cut and dried the
way I read it. I don't really see mercy
there.
Hmm, another issue
that bears more study.
