Have you not read?
Have you never heard?
these are words that Jesus had for the Pharisees
Pharisee-
The Pharisees were strict and jealous adherents to the laws of the OT and to numerous additional traditions
They study the word of God
it was there life
they upheld every bit of it
Yet they missed the most important thing which was God Himself
they missed God in His word and in Jesus Christ
JN 5:36-4
These men who’s whole life were dedicated to the word of God missed God’s heart
even to the point that when Jesus
God in the Flesh
Stood before them they didn’t even recognize
Jesus tells them that the very thing they held onto - The law of Moses was what stood against them
Another time in Matthew Chapter 12
Mt 12:
The Pharisee interpreted this as an offense and a sin
According to the Pharisees, plucking wheat from its stem is reaping, rubbing the wheat heads between one’s palms is threshing, and blowing away the chaff is winnowing!
Jesus says “If you would have known what this means ‘I desire mercy not Sacrifice,”
What is the Heart of God?
The Pharisees were splitting hairs with their technicalities about reaping, threshing, and winnowing.
They failed to understand compassion for people’s basic needs (in this case, the disciples’ hunger; cf.
Deut.
23:24–25), but were intense in their concern for the sacrifices.
Jesus reminded them of the words in Hosea 6:6, I desire mercy, not sacrifice, that is, inner spiritual vitality, not mere external formality
God desired that we would know Him
that we love Him
So what is the point ?
We so often re just like the Pharisee in our beliefs
it isn’t that we would come out and say we don’t agree with the words of Jesus and the bible
but often times there is a filtering problem
an interpretation problem
We read scripture that say-
Gensis 1:27
We are created in God’s image
Yet when we look at ourselves we don’t like what we see
we hate ourselves and our lives
we feel no value
which is why we seek it in others
Or we read The God is with us
Ps 118
but yet we feel so alone with no purpose or hope
or How about love
But yet we feel like no one will ever love
like we are destined to be alone
Why is that we miss the truth of God’s word in our lives
why is it that we miss the truth of God’s word when we are struggling with our thoughts, our feeling and even our actions?
It is because like the Pharisees we have missed something
we have a belief problem
and interpretation problem that lies deep inside our hearts
WE filter the word of God through our experiences rather then having the word of God speak the truth into our hearts
Because of Hurts
our parents leaving us
broken families
parents abandoning
our parents drug addiction
boys who have taken advantage of us
emotional wounds
low self esteem
depression
anxiety
We lose sight of the truth
we become like the Pharisee and we trade truth for experience
We don’t say God i doubt your word
but our minds and hearts go down those roads
