Jesus Christ tells us that the "weightier matters of the law" are justice, mercy, and faith, and that we must not leave these "undone." Judgment and mercy are two misunderstood and misapplied topics in the world today. What exactly does the Bible say, and what did Jesus Christ mean, when He spoke about judgement, mercy, and faith?
