MERCY 5-29-2020
Mercy- In our Lords home and lives towards each other. Mercy includes forgiveness. Goodwill and kindness. Kindness towards people. It also means love that responses to the human need in an unexpected way. Mercy is a quality of God and one that God requires of his people. Tender mercy is compassion. God's mercy extends itself to all men. Jesus is the mercy seat forever. Mercy ends the curse even generational curses because of the blood of Jesus.
Gods mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water or deprived the sun of its light or make space too narrow then to diminish the mercy of God Charles Spurgeon

9 Then Jesus left them and went into the synagogue where
10 he encountered a man who had an atrophied, paralyzed hand. The fault-finding Pharisees asked Jesus, Is it permissible to perform a work of healing on the Sabbath, when no one is supposed to work? They only asked him this question because they hoped to accuse him of breaking the Jewish laws.
11 He answered them, If any of you had a lamb that fell into a ditch on the Sabbath, wouldnt you reach out your hand and lift it out?
12 Isnt a man much more valuable than a lamb? So of course, its always proper to do miracles, even on the Sabbath.
13 Then he turned to the man and said, Hold out your hand! And as he stretched it out, it was restored, exactly like the other.
14 Immediately the Pharisees went out and started to scheme about how they would do away with him. TPT

ROM 3:24 Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His giftof love and favor now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!
25 Jesus God-given destinywas to be the sacrifice to take away sins, and now he is our mercy seatbecause of his death on the cross. We come to him for mercy, for God has made a provision for us to be forgiven by faith in the sacred blood of Jesus. This is the perfect demonstration of Gods justice, because until now, he had been so patientholding back his justice out of his tolerance for us. So he covered overthe sins of those who lived prior to Jesus sacrifice.
26 And when the season of tolerance came to an end, there was only one possible way for God to give away his righteousness and still be true to both his justice and his mercyto offer up his own Son. So now, because we stand on the faithfulness of Jesus, God declares us righteous in his eyes! TPT
