It’s easy to be kind to our friends and to treat others well when they treat us well. But it’s harder to be kind to those who don’t appear to deserve our kindness. That’s what mercy is all about—it means not giving people what they deserve, but being kind to them and forgiving them.
One big reason we should show mercy to others is because God shows mercy to each of us. If we got what we really deserve, we would be really hurting…because we all have sinned and keep sinning, and we don’t deserve God’s love and favor. But He gives it to us anyway, because “while we were still sinners, God loved us.” That’s really good news, and it should make us want to show mercy to others just as God does.
This Sunday we’ll be learning about a time in the Bible when King Saul was trying to kill David, and David had a chance to kill Saul. His men wanted David to kill the king, but David showed mercy to Saul and only cut off part of his cloak, so he could show Saul that he could have killed him but chose not to.
We’ll have some fun with this story and act it out, while we are learning about why, when, and how we should show mercy to others.
See you Sunday…and keep bringing your friends!
Tom and Sydney Cook
