April 26, 2021 – My thoughts today center around mercy. The point is not the mercy you are supposed to give as Christians, but the mercy you have received from the Lord. Biblically speaking, there are examples upon examples in the bible where God is merciful. He forgives. Jesus is the penultimate symbol of God’s mercy. But lest you be one of those who really cannot relate to biblical stories and parables because they really have no bearing on your life, let’s focus on how much mercy God has bestowed upon you. Now unless you’re perfect, I assume you can relate to an inquiry into your life about God having been merciful to you at one time or another. We don’t have to talk about you. Let’s talk about me. I know I’m still on the planet, able to appreciate, life because of God’s mercy. What I also know is even if I couldn’t (but I want you to know I can) relate to the biblical side of this I believe there’s a price for everything and mercy is no exception.
