Go and Do, Day 7

Mercy triumphs over judgment. Read James 2:12-13.

It’s always such an interesting thought that mercy triumphs over judgment. We are a society and a people that are very much focused on judgment for other people and mercy for ourselves. We want people to only judge us based on our intentions, not based on our actual actions. However, we judge other people based on their actions and not their intentions.

The idea that mercy is greater than judgment is not one that is very prevalent. Yet God demonstrates mercy toward us. Because of Jesus Christ, we have the ability to be forgiven. We can follow him and seek after him and have a relationship with God because of God’s mercy. We don’t deserve it, but that’s what makes it mercy.

We are to demonstrate mercy to other people. This goes against everything we are taught and everything we feel, but mercy triumphs over judgment. Are we demonstrating mercy today?
