Jesus is going to be turning his attention to the lack of mercy present in the spiritual leadership of Israel. He is speaking to a judgmental and condemning spirit that withholds love, grace and forgiveness from others because of what they have done, said or who they are. Jesus is teaching us a Better Way and the only way that will bring true change to a person and this world. The Better Way is through the power of love and grace as we give to others what has been so freely given to us through Jesus.
