Pardon me, I looked at the wrong reading try Matthew 9 verse 13.

Yes, I thought that is what you were trying to quote.

Interesting reference, but I think it is important to get it right. God desires mercy (not love) instead of sacrifice. Jesus is quoting the prophet Hosea, a lively story about a man who refuses to treat his adulterous wife as she deserved. Just as God has mercy on his adulterous wife and her unfaithful children. This is what happens when you refuse to let your heart turn to stone.

I think you probably wanted this one to illustrate what you found pleasing in the article:

“I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”

I encourage everyone who professes to believe in what the Bible says to actually know what it says.

Bless you.
