Beatitudes: Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Bethany and Carol Season 1 Episode 75

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 

Mercy is an attribute of God’s character.  God showed us mercy through Jesus Christ. When we choose to follow Jesus, we follow his example of showing mercy to others. Hear a discussion on the 5th beatitude about Mercy, and shares from Bethany and Carol in this episode.

A heart of compassion is tied to showing mercy. How do we show compassion? Do we show compassion for the lost… the hurting… for our neighbor, co-worker, or family member? And don't forget the widow and orphan.

Sometimes we don’t feel equipped. But knowing God will equip us gives us the strength to take that step to show mercy and compassion.

Ponder Point: If God puts it on your heart to do something, He's going to make it work for our good. How many times do we have that nudge from the Lord to do something, and we don’t act on it?
