What does it really mean to live with mercy?
This week at Avalon, Pastor K. Paul continued our journey through the Beatitudes with a message called “Blessed Mercy” from Matthew 5:7: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”
Mercy, Pastor K. Paul explained, isn’t just feeling sorry for someone—it’s entering their world, seeing with their eyes, feeling with their heart, and walking with them in their struggle. Mercy triumphs over judgment because it reflects the very heart of God through Christ.
So here’s the challenge: in your home, at work, in your neighborhood—or even pulling out of the church parking lot—will you choose mercy, or judgment?
