mercy
-
This week, we wrestle with the nature of forgiveness and mercy. We do so knowing we might not want to offer it. But we can so choose to.
-
Rather than think of mercy as something we’re supposed to do when something happens, we cast it as a way of being in the world.
-
The challenge of stumbling into Matthew 18 without its context is that we get the point Jesus is trying to make completely backward.
-
In teaching his disciples “The Lord’s Prayer,” Jesus reveals the relational vision of forgiveness; as an opportunity.
-
The gift of mercy is unearned grace. But it is also way more than that. It exists outside the earned/unearned continuum.
