" Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.” For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.   MATTHEW 9:12-13 People who foolishly think that they have all their spiritual disciplines together, who assume they’re able to obey all the commands (and then some), have a significant problem being merciful with those who struggle. In fact, it was Jesus’ adherence to the true meaning of the law and His disdain for the Pharisees’ add-ons that made them hate Him. "
