Partners in Ministry: Show Mercy
Scriptures:
Deuteronomy 30:9-14 Psalm 25:1-10
Colossians 1:1-14 Luke 10:25-37
In Luke’s gospel story we hear the parable of the merciful Samaritan. When a man is left for dead on the side of the road the religious people who saw him pass him buy, while a Samaritan (an outsider to the religious community) stops cares for the man, brings him to a place for healing, and provides time for him to heal. All of these actions reflect mercy shown by the Samaritan toward the stranger. Jesus tells this story as a way of showing what it means to be a neighbor in our world. Psalm 25 reminds us that all the paths of God are “steadfast love and faithfulness” these are gifts best expressed in mercy toward the people God has placed in our lives. We are called to be a people, a body, that shows mercy in a world that gives very little.
