BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL: FOR THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY
“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall
obtain mercy.” Matt. 5:7
He who loves shall be loved, he who gives help shall find help. The
law of retaliation is nullified for evil but remains valid for good. We
constantly commit sins against the spirit and those sins will be forgiven us
only as we forgive those committed against us. Christ is in all men and what we
do to others will be done to us. "Inasmuch
as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me." (Matt. 25:40) If we have pity on others we may have pity for
ourselves; God can pardon the evil which we do to ourselves only if we pardon
the evil which others do to us.
Oxymoron-Self-Enriching
Benefactors. Now from passive to active, "The
merciful." That is, those who give and those who serve. It is the
activity of the life toward the suffering.
