\u201cBut go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice.\u201d (Mt. 9:13<\/a>)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n God is far more interested in how we treat other people than in how many religious ceremonies we go through. He prefers mercy to sacrifice. He places practical morality above ritual. It might seem strange to read that God doesn\u2019t desire sacrifice, because it was He who instituted the sacrificial system in the first place. But there is no contradiction. While it is true that He ordered the people to bring sacrifices and offerings, He never intended these to take the place of justice and kindness. \u201cTo do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice\u201d (Prov. 21:3<\/a>)<\/p>\n The Old Testament prophets thundered out against people who observed all the proper rituals, yet who cheated and oppressed their neighbors. Isaiah told them that God was fed up with their burnt offerings and religious holidays as long as they oppressed the fatherless and widows (Isa. 1:10-17<\/a>). He told them that the fast God desired was to treat their employees fairly, to feed the hungry and clothe the poor (Isa. 58:6,7<\/a>). Unless their lives were right, they might as well offer a dog\u2019s head or swines\u2019 blood (Isa. 66:3<\/a>).<\/p>\n Amos told the people to stop their religious observances because God would continue to hate these rituals until justice and mercy flowed like a mighty torrent (Amos 5:21-24<\/a>). And Micah warned that what God wants more than ritual is reality\u2014the reality of fairness, justice, mercy and humility (Micah 6:6-8<\/a>).<\/p>\n In our Lord\u2019s day, the Pharisees earned His scorn by pretending to be religious with long, public prayers while evicting widows from their homes (Mt. 23:14<\/a>). They were careful to give God a tenth of the mint in their garden, but this could never take the place of justice and faith (Mt. 23:23<\/a>). It is futile for us to bring our offering to the Lord if our brother has a valid grievance against us (Mt. 5:24<\/a>); the gift is acceptable only after the wrong has been righted. Attending church regularly will never serve as a cover-up for dishonest business practices during the week. There is no use giving mother a box of chocolates on Mother\u2019s Day if we treat her hatefully during the year. Or a shirt to father on Father\u2019s Day if we do not show love and respect to him the rest of the time.<\/p>\n God is not fooled by externals or rituals. He sees the heart and our day-by-day behavior.<\/p>\n \u0baf\u0bc2\u0bb2\u0bc8 15<\/p>\n \u0baa\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2,

Er zieht Barmherzigkeit\u00a0den\u00a0Schlachtopfern vor. Er stellt Moral \u00fcber Ritual. Vielleicht finden wir es seltsam, dass\u00a0Gott anscheinend keine Opfer begehrt, denn schlie\u00dflich\u00a0hat Er ja das Opfersystem\u00a0\u00fcberhaupt erst eingef\u00fchrt. Doch besteht da kein Widerspruch. W\u00e4hrend es richtig ist,\u00a0dass Er dem Volk gebot, Opfergaben\u00a0und Schlachtopfer darzubringen, war es doch\u00a0nie Seine Absicht, dass diese als Ersatz f\u00fcr Gerechtigkeit und G\u00fcte dienen sollten. Die alttestamentlichen Propheten z\u00fcrnten gegen die Menschen, die alle vorgeschriebenen\u00a0Riten beobachteten, aber dabei ihren N\u00e4chsten betrogen\u00a0und unterdr\u00fcckten.\u00a0Jesaja sagte ihnen, dass f\u00fcr Gott ihre Brandopfer und Festfeiern ein Gr\u00e4uel waren,\u00a0solange sie die Witwen und Waisen unterdr\u00fcckten\u00a0(Jesaja 10,1-17). Er sagte ihnen,\u00a0dass das Fasten nach Gottes Gedanken darin besteht, dass man seine Angestellten\u00a0gerecht behandelt, die Hungrigen speist und die Armen bekleidet (Jesaja 58,6.7).\u00a0Solange ihr Leben nicht in Ordnung w\u00e4re, w\u00e4re es so, als ob sie als Opfer einen Hundekopf\u00a0oder Schweineblut darbringen w\u00fcrden (Jesaja 66,3).<\/p>\n Amos sagte dem Volk, dass es religi\u00f6se Feste ganz sein lassen sollte, weil Gott diese\u00a0Rituale solange hassen und verschm\u00e4hen w\u00fcrde, bis sich das Recht einherw\u00e4lzen\u00a0w\u00fcrde wie Wasser und die Gerechtigkeit wie ein immer\u00a0flie\u00dfender Bach (siehe Amos\u00a05,21-24). Und Micha betonte, dass Gott Realit\u00e4t\u00a0statt Rituale will \u2013 die Realit\u00e4t und\u00a0Echtheit von Recht, Gerechtigkeit, G\u00fcte und Demut (siehe Micha 6,6-8).<\/p>\n In den Tagen unseres Herrn zogen sich die Pharis\u00e4er Seinen Zorn zu durch ihre religi\u00f6se\u00a0Heuchelei, die darin sichtbar wurde, dass sie lange \u00f6ffentliche\u00a0Gebete sprachen,\u00a0w\u00e4hrend sie Witwen aus ihren H\u00e4usern vertrieben\u00a0(Matth\u00e4us 23,14). Sie achteten\u00a0sorgf\u00e4ltig darauf, Gott den Zehnten von der Minze in ihrem Garten zu geben, aber\u00a0dies konnte niemals Gerechtigkeit\u00a0und Glauben ersetzen (Matth\u00e4us 23,23). Es ist\u00a0nutzlos, unsere Gabe zum Altar zu bringen, wenn unser Bruder zu Recht etwas gegen\u00a0uns hat (Matth\u00e4us 5,24); die Gabe wird von Gott erst dann angenommen, wenn das\u00a0Unrecht in Ordnung gebracht ist. Unser regelm\u00e4\u00dfiger Gemeindebesuch\u00a0kann niemals\u00a0als Ausgleich oder Tarnung f\u00fcr unehrliche Gesch\u00e4ftspraktiken\u00a0w\u00e4hrend der Woche\u00a0herhalten.
