Luke 17:13: And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."

I belive you have all used the phrase "Lord, have mercy!" whenever life took a turn for the worse.

Jesus was called upon to "have mercy" on several occasions by those in need. And He responded by granting healing or deliverance as required.

What is mercy? It is when we don't get what we deserve. Being sinners, we deserve all manner of judgment. So when we feel we're in the middle of a judgment of circumstances, we call out to God to "have mercy" and take the bad situation away. By grace, God often does--grace being giving us something (relief) we don't deserve.

Grace and mercy are opposite sides of God's coin called love.

Find someone this week to show mercy to. If someone does something wrong and thus deserves judgment, extend mercy instead.

Have a blessed week.
