This sermon focuses on the fifth Beatitude from Matthew 5:7, 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.' The pastor explains that mercy means giving help to the wretched and relieving the miserable, always demanding action beyond just feeling compassion. Using the parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10, he illustrates how mercy sees, sorrows, and serves. The message emphasizes that mercy is an overflow of the mercy we've received from God through Christ's sacrifice at Calvary. True Christians must exhibit mercy because we cannot receive God's mercy and forgiveness unless we are willing to extend it to others, as demonstrated in stories of forgiveness including Corrie Ten Boom's encounter with a Nazi guard.
