Mercy vs Sacrifice (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In a discussion, Steve Gregg compares the concepts of mercy and sacrifice in the Bible, referencing Luke 5 and Matthew 12. He explains that while mercy is a characteristic of God's love, it is important to understand the context in which it is appropriate to fast and mourn. Gregg notes that self-discipline, including certain dietary restrictions, is a part of Christian practice, but neglecting the body is not. He highlights the importance of balancing personal self-discipline with appropriateness and practicality in daily life.
