Matthew: Let Mercy Lead
December 16, 2020
Mercy led Jesus to lay down His life, so that now, anyone who puts their trust in him will receive the mercy of God. They will be forgiven and set free from a life of sin and given life with God. It’s no wonder then, that Jesus blesses the merciful. For when you are merciful you are acting most like God, who is rich in mercy.

The good news of the kingdom is that God favor’s those who are lowly in heart.

For when we’re totally honest and confess we are indeed sinful and in need of God, this is where blessing begins.
