Mercy

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. You can show mercy two ways. First, show mercy by helping other people. Be like the good Samaritan showed mercy to the man on the Jericho road. He put him up in the Holiday Inn and paid for his medical expenses. Second, show mercy by forgiving other people. Ephesians 4:32 says “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” You don’t merit God’s forgiveness by forgiving others. You forgive others because God has forgiven you. A sure sign that you have been forgiven is your willingness to show mercy to others.
