This Sunday

In a "me first" world, the spiritual gift of mercy is a beautifully grounding gift from God. Characterized by compassionate and empathy, the gift of mercy is one Jesus modeled throughout his ministry. While he had all authority as the Son of God, he bent low, noticing the most marginalized by society. Even at the end of his life, he offered forgiveness and compassion for one near him on the cross. What can we learn from Christ's merciful example? How does it apply to our daily lives? How are we meant to live as merciful envoys of Christ in a broken and hurting world?
