On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:12-13)
Mercy is the greatest gift you can receive but it can be the most costly to give.

The Genealogy
June 7, 2020 • Jay Scott • Matthew 1:1–17
God was in a covenant relationship with both Abraham and David. The genealogy of Jesus reflects that, but following Jesus is a choice. It is a NEW covenant relationship based on faith. Our family of origin often has a lot to do with how we view God and treat others. From the genealogy of Jesus, we learn: - Jesus' family origin is far from perfect. - God placed you in your family of origin for a reason and Jesus can bring peace to that. - Even in the darkest moments or deepest pains, our family or origin can be brought into God's marvelous light.
