Devotional WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6TH, 2010 Day 4
Don’t Neglect the Important
“You have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness.”
Matthew 23:23, 37, NIV
Jesus stood looking over the crowds who had gathered to hear him speak. He could see on the fringes of the crowd, stone-faced men in expensive robes. Jesus knew these men; they were Pharisees, a group of religious leaders who took great pride in their obedience to all kinds of religious laws and regulations. They even strained their drinking water so they would not accidentally swallow a tiny gnat, and so break the Jewish laws about eating “unclean” animals.
But Jesus wasn’t impressed by their efforts. In fact, he was angry at the Pharisees, because the whole time they were observing all the tiny regulations about washing their hands before eating and how far they could walk on the Sabbath, their lives were filled with cruelty and unkindness and other sins.
“Woe to you,” Jesus said, speaking directly to the frowning men on the edges of the crowd. He referred to their habit of giving a tenth of even the tiniest parts of their income to God, while at the same time they treated people unfairly, unmercifully, and unfaithfully. “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former” (Matthew 23:23, NIV). In other words, Jesus was saying, it’s no good to make a point of obeying God in the tiniest detail if at the same time you disobey him in the more important areas of justice, mercy and faithfulness.
Jesus made it clear that faithfulness is one of the things God desires most from his people. He wants us to be faithful; in fact, he commands it. He wants us to be faithful to him. He wants us to be faithful to our families. He wants us to be faithful to our friends, and our fellow Christians. He wants us to be faithful to those who depend on us.
Because faithfulness, according to Jesus, is one of “the more important matters of the law.” That means if we are not faithful, we are not obeying God. Because God commands faithfulness.
Prayer:
Dear God – Lord, I know you command faithfulness, but I haven’t always been faithful. I ask your forgiveness for those times I’ve been unfaithful. Help me to be more faithful, with your help, from now on. Help us to take some time to focus on justice and mercy today.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
