The reflection of God's mercy

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: The reflection of God's mercy

I move on now to the reflection of God's mercy, reminding you again of our need to bear God's image in a darkened world. In Luke 6:36, our Lord tells us straightforwardly, Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. That makes very clear our need to be merciful. To this we can add a few more verses.

Proverbs 3:3 says, Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

Micah 6:8 asks, What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

Let me not leave out the closing words of the parable of the Good Samaritan, where Jesus asked the inquiring lawyer, which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves? The lawyer rightly replied, He who showed mercy on him. Then Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise.
As Christians we simply must be merciful if at all possible. May God grant us the grace to do so.

In addition it can be said that mercy is one of those things we can do for the good of ourselves. Proverbs 11:17 states, The merciful man does good for his own soul. And Matthew 5:7 says, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
This morning instead of looking for someone to show you mercy, I want you to be merciful to someone too, and your lie mercy will come from God. Amen

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name mercy of God will open door of breakthrough for you
