Mankind has always desired mercy for themselves. But rarely do they want to change the behavior that required mercy in the first place. Godly mercy, however, is all about change. Change from our carnal nature to his righteousness. God desires that we also extend mercy to others as we forgive them of their trespasses against us. So while we desire greatly mercy from God, are we just as quick to extend mercy to another person? As we continue our series on the Weightier Matters of the Law, let us be a people who Love Mercy.
