The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg continues his discussion on "Mercy vs Sacrifice" in this segment, focusing on the idea that religious rituals and man-made customs should not be grounds for judging one's spiritual worth. He portrays Jesus as dismissing old Jewish customs and traditions, as well as discussing the difficulties of reconciling the old and new covenants in Christianity. Gregg also touches on the concept of work on the Sabbath, emphasizing that doing good work on any day is not sinful and that people should focus on doing what God wants them to do.
