Called to Follow: The Compassion of a Disciple

Text: Matthew 9:9-13

Have you ever wrestled with a situation that constantly captured your attention and grabbed hold of your mind? Have you ever heard a statement that you couldn’t let go of? You continually wondered, “What did this mean? Why did they say that? Is there something more there?” If so, you can relate to the words of Jesus in Matthew 9:13 where He instructs us to, “Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire compassion, and not sacrifice.’ ” We invite you to listen to this message and to intently consider what the Lord is saying about our care for others and how it applies to our lives today.
