*The Point of Impact - Week 2, Day 2 Tuesday, April 29 Read “When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?’ 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.’” Matthew 9:11-13a Review - The Pharisees questioning of Jesus was consistent with their theology. They disassociated from all those they assumed God had dismissed. The problem was not what Jesus thought of Matthew but what his critics thought of God. They missed the point: God will have mercy. Respond - Fundamental to Christianity is our belief in the God-ness of Jesus. Just as crucial but less emphasized is the Jesus-ness of God. God is like Jesus, which means He is a God who delights in and operates out of a heart of mercy. Read Titus 3:4-5 and Ephesians 2:4-5. How does your theology of God impact the way you have mercy on others? As you interact with people today operate out of a heart of mercy.
