MERCY.
Micah 7 vs.18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
1/ Blind man - Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. He will always hear. the blind man realised his need Jesus had mercy on him. We can be spiritually blind.
2/ The Pharisee thought he was upright - pride.
The Publican was not upright - humility.
God be merciful to me a sinner.
Jesus voluntarily laid down His life on the cross so that we could experience God's mercy and forgiveness.
3/ The lepers were in the outside place.
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
Jesus had love and compassion on them, but only one showed gratitude. Are we grateful to God for all His goodness to us, do we "follow" Him.
Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary !
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty, at Calvary !
4/ The begger went to a place of blessing.
The rich man went to a place of torment.
Father Abraham, have mercy on me,
He could see, speak,hear, feel, remember, recognise and reason, he was in torment. Hell is a real place, Heaven is a real place.
Cast yourself on God's mercy repent and put your faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus for Salvation.
