MERCY TRUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT 6-24-22 VIDEO
Mercy is compassion or forgiveness shown towards someone whom it is within our power to punish or harm. Many have spoken in the body of Christ about judgment against people who don’t agree with them. I’m not saying to call evil good, definitely speak your opinion in the light of the Word. Always be encouraging. Give an opportunity for mercy to move upon all. For if you extend mercy the others, and your time of need you will reap mercy.
James 2:12 So speak and so act as [people should] who are to be judged under the law of liberty [the moral instruction given by Christ, especially about love].
13 For to him who has shown no mercy the judgment [will be] merciless, but mercy [full of glad confidence] exults victoriously over judgment. AMP

Matthew 9:10Jesus went to Matthew’s house and made himself at home. Many other tax collectors and outcasts of society were invited to eat with Jesus and his disciples.
11When those known as the Pharisees saw what was happening, they were indignant, and they kept asking Jesus’ disciples, “Why would your Master dine with such lowlifes?”
12When Jesus overheard this, he spoke up and said, “Healthy people don’t need to see a doctor, but the sick will go for treatment.”
13Then he added, “Now you should go and study the meaning of the verse:
I want you to show mercy, not just offer me a sacrifice. For I have come to invite the outcasts of society and sinners, not those who think they are already on the right path.” TPT

Romans 3:25Jesus’ God-given destiny was to be the sacrifice to take away sins, and now he is our mercy seat because 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 God’s justice, because until now, he had been so patient—holding back his justice out of his tolerance for us. So he covered over the sins of those who lived prior to Jesus’ sacrifice.
26And 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 mercy—to offer up his own Son. So now, because we stand on the faithfulness of Jesus, God declares us righteous in his eyes! TPT

righteousness is pointing them to the evidence of their innocence, with Jesus as the fountainhead of faith. MIRROR
