Jesus says “I desire mercy not sacrifice.” Doing good to people is more important than tradition. In what areas do I withhold mercy for the sake of my tradition. The Pharisees were so threatened by Jesus doing good for others that they plotted murder. That’s a scary attachment to traditions. Jesus says that we will know a good tree by the fruit it bears. I pray that he helps me to bear good fruit. Then the Pharisees ask for a sign. Even after Jesus dies and rises from the dead, they still do not believe. Search me God and remove any bad fruit: Jealousy, rage, bitterness, impurity etc. Lastly, it is important when evil is removed, to replace it with the Holy Spirit. Otherwise it can get seven times worse.
