## Resource

Scripture Hosea 6:6 / Matthew 9:13 (NIV) "For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." "But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Refrain God wants mercy, not sacrifice. Quote Richard Rohr, from The Universal Christ "Jesus did not come to change God's mind about us. It did not need changing. Jesus came to change our minds about God — and about ourselves — and about where goodness and evil really lie." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
