Blessed: Matthew 5:7

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” What is life in God’s kingdom and under his rule like? Jesus is inviting people into a whole new way of living that not only produces true flourishing in the here and now, but also in the age to come. He does this while declaring some of the most counter-rational statements on what it means to be happy. Blessed are the merciful.

Respond:

  • How has God been merciful to you? When you think of the lavish grace displayed by God in your life, go and extend it on others. For what in your life do you need mercy?

  • Who do you struggle to forgive or to show mercy towards?
