THE HEART OF CHRISTIANITY IS MERCY

THE HEART OF CHRISTIANITY=
IS MERCY


If you know NOTHING
At all about Jesus=
KNOW THIS


He had HEART
For you and me=he
Had MERCY
On us all=and he
GAVE UP his life
For all of us


THE HEART OF CHRISTIANITY
IS ITS MERCY


“Give thanks to the Lord
For he is good


For his MERCY ENDURES FOREVER” Psalm 136:1


As FOLLOWERS of Jesus=
We are to live in mercy
For all OTHERS too=
Particularly our
CHRISTIAN brothers and sisters


Jesus continually preaches
To others=and MINISTERED to them
In a SPIRIT of gentle mercy


We are to CARRY
That spirit of GENTLE MERCY
To all others too


Jesus tried to TEACH
The Pharisees
The meaning of mercy


And what could be
A BETTER EXAMPLE of mercy
Than forgiving your executioners
When they are PUTTING
You to death


“Remember Lord
Your great MERCY
And love


For they are
From of old” Psalm 25:6


“Whoever conceals their sins
Does not prosper


But the one
Who confesses
And renounces them
FINDS MERCY” Proverbs 28:13


When we forgive others
When we extend them
TRUE MERCY


That doesn't mean
We condone
What they are doing


It just MEANS
We look PAST their wrongdoing
And we are ready
To move forward=to MOVE ON


MERCY is one of
The STRONGEST VIRTUES
That we can have=
It is a SPIRITUAL GIFT


And if it is GOOD
ENOUGH for our teacher=Jesus
It should be good enough
For us too=to live and love
As a TRUE CHRISTIAN


The HEART OF CHRISTIANITY
Is having TRUE MERCY
For our brothers and sisters
In CHRIST


It is having
True mercy IN OUR HEARTS
For all


“For God
Has bound everyone
Over to disobedience


So that he may
HAVE MERCY on them all” Romans 11:32


Our God=our Jesus
Did pass SENTENCE on us


But he CONDEMNED our sins=
Not us
He FORGAVE US


To take mercy out of CHRISTIANITY
Is to TAKE
Our very souls


So LIVE each day=CARRYING MERCY
To each and everyone
You come into CONTACT with


Thank God for Jesus=
Thank God for the Christians
Who TRULY FOLLOW HIM


The HEART OF GOD=
The heart of JESUS=is MERCY
MERCY ENDURES FOREVER!


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our EVER FORGIVING=MERCIFUL Father GOD
