Blessed Are the Merciful... But What Does That Really Mean?

Most people think mercy is about “being soft” or “letting things slide.” But when Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy,” He wasn’t calling us to weakness—He was inviting us to wage war against bitterness, violence, and revenge with something radically different. Mercy isn’t ignoring justice. Mercy is seeing someone drowning in the consequences of their own sin… and choosing to throw them a rope anyway. It’s helping someone who might not “deserve it” in the world’s eyes, because you remember the mercy you’ve received. Jesus calls us to a higher standard—and it might just change everything about how you see your enemies. #MercyWins #JesusWay #RadicalLove #Beatitudes #ForgivenessIsPower #FaithInAction
