What Did Jesus Mean - "I Will Have Mercy, And Not Sacrifice"? - Charles F Hunting - July-September 1973

Charles F Hunting

Do we really know what He meant? Christ said, "Go ye and LEARN what that meaneth" (Matt. 9:J3). Knowing can mean your eternal life! WHAT IS our goal - really? Is it a hazy, not too vivid, all-encompassing kind of thing, like "to get into the Kingdom," "to show love," or "to do the Work of God"? Each of us must have a much more clearly defined, moment-by-moment goal than that. A goal so vivid and so real that we can confidently know we are fulfilling God's desires - His purpose for our lives. The Starting Point. Everyone wants to live forever. But since we are merely physical human beings, we all face physical death. Death is a sobering reality. As David said, our life is but a "handbreadth" (Ps. 39:5). We are here today and gone tomorrow. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
