Default Mercy

Mercy

"Mercy triumphs over Judgment." James 2:13

What a statement, but one indeed that is true! When Jesus came to earth and died for each of us and our sins, mercy indeed triumphed over judgment! We have experienced this mercy; we have lived in its blessing. We were doomed to judgment and death, but God's mercy has freed us. Let us go forth today with this knowledge and live a life of mercy, reaching out to others not in the judgment that they deserve, but in mercy. We deserve judgment, but have been given grace; and in turn we, of all people, should be given to mercy. Mercy gave us freedom: freedom from the debt we owed, freedom from judgment. Let us bestow this same freedom on others, freeing them from the debts they owe us and in turn giving them mercy. There is no better way to live a life of Christ than to do so. Let our lives shine forth with Christ's mercy and grace that all might know and taste of His goodness and mercy.

Father, how grateful we are that you made the choice to give us mercy in place of judgment! Help us to have the same generosity with others that your have so freely given to us. Let us never lose sight of the fact that we never deserved grace, but you freely gave it to us. Help us to live lives of grace and mercy. Lord Jesus, thank you for giving of yourself in such a way that your death might not only triumph over the grave, but mercy triumphed over judgment. May mercy continue to triumph over judgment in our lives, as well. Help us to that end. Amen
