Jesus doesn't want religion but relationship

Then he added, "Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: 'I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.' For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners." Mathew 9:13.

Jesus doesn't want religion but relationship. He doesn't want people to justify themselves through practices of observance but rather to let His love shine through them to show compassion and mercy to those who are struggling. Jesus didn't come for those who think they're righteous and have it all together, but for those who are struggling and recognise their flaws and their need for Jesus to bring forgiveness, healing and eternal hope into their life. Jesus offers a fresh start and a new way of living that brings true freedom and liberty. Praise God today that as we recognise our need for Jesus in our life, He'll bring us into the fullness of all that He has for us.
