    Jesus Is Merciful

    28 | May | 2018

    Jesus, the Blessed Child of God, is merciful.

    Showing mercy is different from having pity. Pity connotes distance, even looking down upon. When a beggar asks for money and you give him something out of pity, you are not showing mercy. Mercy comes from a compassionate heart; it comes from a desire to be an equal. Jesus didn’t want to look down on us. He wanted to become one of us and feel deeply with us.

    When Jesus called the only son of the widow of Nain to life, he did so because he felt the deep sorrow of the grieving mother in his own heart (see Luke 7:11-17).

    Let us look at Jesus when we want to know how to show mercy to our brothers and sisters.
