Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Mercy is a profound act of love that goes against human nature. A merciful person throws aside their want for vengeance, recognizing that even their enemies are God’s children. Punishment may be deserved, no doubt, but the merciful one deserves punishment too; sin is sin after all, and everyone falls short of God’s standard for being a “good person.” The only difference is that their sins have been paid for by Christ’s blood, and when you fully recognize the price that was paid for your wrongs, showing mercy becomes a whole lot easier. Blessed are the merciful, for they have and will receive mercy.
