Didn’t God have compassion on us?
When we were in the mud, he came up to us.
When we were in the prisons, he walked over and held out his hand to us.
When we were rejected, forgotten, the Lord restored us.
Jesus did not need us to be in the same neighborhood as him, we do not even need to have the same culture as him, he does not need to do favoritism, nor to set conditions for prove his love.
Each time, he comes to the aid, he consoles, he heals, he delivers.
How many times have we been oblivious to a situation?
How many times have we crossed in front of the cases of accidents?
How many times have we failed to rescue a person in distress?
How many times have we chosen not to accommodate a homeless person, not to assist the destitute or not to support the poor?
How many times….?
The Bible lays bare a behavior that we maintain, it shows our hardness of heart and challenges us.
A man has been assaulted, robbed, beaten, abandoned.
The word of God tells us that a priest, a pastor, a man of God, a Christian, a person who is supposed to bear and share love was not going there but he ignored this case, he turned away and is left.
Another child of God for the same case refused to reach out to a brother in need, a brother in agony.
He’s a Samaritan, a stranger who took pity and took care of him.
This is a fact of our daily life.
We are talking about mercy this morning.
The Samaritan’s reaction is touching, he did not need to know the victim, he was not interested in what had happened, his concern was to bring help, relief to the needy.
Let us take this remark of Jesus into account and strive to be merciful to others.
Mercy is having a heart sensitive to pity.
Mercy is acts, it is not limited to feelings, it is a generosity, an indulgence, a tolerance, a character of love.
Psalms, 112: 4 – Light dawns in darkness for the upright, for the merciful, compassionate, and righteous.
Practice mercy!
Darkness will not always reign, it cannot dwell where there is light.
Light is the guarantee of honesty and truth.
Light, compassion, justice, mercy are the character of God.
Do not distance ourselves from people, do not hold a grudge, forgive, console.
We must not let ourselves be controlled by anger, show forgiveness, reflect God’s mercy.
Let us choose mercy, get out of prisons and give love to those around us.

Have a good day
