In Sunday School, we have been going over the passage of Matthew 5. This morning, we talked about verse 7. It spoke to me, so I thought I would share.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Matthew 5:7 KJV)
Mercy- Giving someone something that is not deserved. EXAMPLE: Sinners deserve hell, but God came to earth to save us from our sins.
I. The Beauty of Mercy
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV)
Luke 10:30- The Good Samaritan
There are 3 kind of people in the world:
The beater-uppers
The passer-uppers
The picker-uppers
What kind of person am I?
II. The Basis of Mercy
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. (Psalms 85:10 KJV)
III. The Blessing of Mercy
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; (Psalms 18:25 KJV)
