Blessed Are the Merciful |
Are you merciful? |
Why? |
Because Jesus healed the sick |
Because Jesus fed the multitudes |
Because Jesus gave legs to the crippled |
Because Jesus granted sight to the blind |
Because Jesus opened the ears of the deaf |
Because Jesus found prostitutes and tax collectors and drew them into the |
sphere of His love |
Because Jesus touched the untouchable |
And loved the unlovable |
And forgave the unforgivable |
And welcomed the undesirable |
Because Jesus even now saves the otherwise unsavable, why?! |
Because they deserve it?! |
When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared |
He saved us NOT because of works done in righteousness |
NOT because we met Him halfway |
NOT because we took the proper steps forward |
And in good faith have elevated ourselves to the place of the deserving poor |
But according to His mercy! |
We are here because Jesus Christ didn’t say with cold indifference |
«Give them what they deserve, they brought it on themselves!» |
Jesus Christ IS the Mercy of God! |
And seeing us in our misery and need |
He doesn’t just feel for us |
He takes the necessary action to relieve our distress |
He leaves the eternal glory of heaven and the perfect fellowship of the Trinity |
He condescends to us |
Lives among us |
Suffers like us |
Dies for us! |
Do you understand this?! |
Have YOU experienced this?! |
How then is it possible to experience it and not display it?! |
It isn’t possible! |
You haven’t experienced it if you don’t display it! |
The evidence of God’s mercy in your life isn’t determined by how much theology |
you know |
By how many books you read |
But by your active goodness to people in misery and in need! |
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy |
