(Mission Cast) Compassionate Mercy: In Times Of Trials And Suffering (Jeremiah 3:12 13; Matt 6:12) ( Suffering)
Jeff and Mim discuss the themes of “Guilt and Debts” and “Mercy and Forgiveness” in light of current events in China. How can we reflect the nature and character of God in times of intense monitoring and persecution. It does no good to be angry. But how does one learn to continue with resilience and faith and steadfast love and mercy in such times? It requires prayer and humility. We did not discuss this, but I am thinking of Matthew 18:23-35. We are servants of the Most High God. And, as we have received mercy and forgiveness, so we are to extend mercy and forgiveness to others for the sake of Jesus Christ, who died and atoned for the sins of the entire world (past, present, and future). If Jesus prayed while on the cross, “Father, forgive them; they don’t know what they are doing.” We can pray the same, too. Help us, Lord, to offer to others the same mercy and forgiveness you have offered to us.
