In verse 13, why does Jesus say that "I desire mercy, not sacrifice" and later on he says that the way to life is by self-sacrifice?
- Jennings' Response: Here Jesus is talking about the Sacrificial System, not the Sacrifice we must make. As you can tell he expects Self Sacrifice. Mercy was more important for the sinners than a sacrifice of their sins. When we are with our friends who are not yet Christians Mercy and Humility is more important on our part than telling them how to act morally and pointing out how they are sinning.
