How Do You Be Merciful; Especially Since God Granted Us Mercy? Matthew 5:7
April 7, 2024
Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message.
Our purpose statement is “We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”
This eight-week series examines the most famous ever given, The Sermon on the Mount, by none other than Jesus himself. Jesus’s audience was the outcasts of his day, and they were the first to engage this incredible message and design for living. We will unpack the nine Beatitudes presented by Jesus. It’s a series you don’t want to miss. Today, we unpack Matthew 5:7 and look at the first Beatitude and what it means to be merciful and to receive mercy.
Questions to ponder:
- What does it mean to be “merciful?” What does it mean to receive “Mercy?
- What does it mean to be merciful from the Biblical definition?
- How is it possible to receive God’s mercy by being merciful?
- Why must we understand God’s idea of mercy? Are there eternal consequences?
- What does the word mercy mean to you? Why is it life-changing?
The Greek word for merciful is (eleemon). The Greek word for mercy is (eleos). The Hebrew word for mercy is (rachum). “The good life is for the merciful (eleemon) for the will experience mercy (eleos).”
