The words of Jesus are not moral lessons, they are spiritual principles. And principles cannot be broken, you can only break yourself against them. Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy”. This is so powerful because every one of us, at some point will have the power to decide the fate of another. There are many times we will be given the opportunity to flex our authority over people’s lives; where they need us to have mercy on them. Jesus is saying that at such points if we choose to be merciful, we will obtain mercy when we are in need too. When it is reasonable to show mercy please show mercy. One day you may require mercy. Pray this: Father help me to be merciful in Jesus’ name, amen.
