In Jesus’ day, the scribes and Pharisees rationalized their violation of the spirit of God’s law. Jesus exposed their hypocritical practice when He cited the commandment to "honor your father and your mother" (Mark 7:10-13). They were declaring a portion of their income as "a gift to God" to keep from using it to care for their aged parents.
The Bible is not a tool to get what we want. Instead, we must ask God to help us understand its intended purpose. Let’s be sure we don’t neglect the "weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith" (Matt. 23:23). —Dennis Fisher
You . . . have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. —Matthew 23:23
