SCRIPTURE:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. – Mat 23:23 (ESV)
PARAPHRASED:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the more important, burdensome, and authoritative matters of the law: rightly discriminating between right and wrong, compassionate kindness, and firm conviction of the truth of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
MESSAGE FROM ABBA:
I Am Justice. I Am Righteousness. All of My Judgments are rooted in Justice. I have called My people to walk in the same manner. Justice. Do and say what is right. Decide according to what is right, not according to what benefits you or to manipulate others. I see and hear all. If you follow Justice you follow Me. Justice is My Name. Justice is My Character. Share in My Character and do what is right. This is always in My Will and there is no law against Justice.
