Theme of the Month: The Secret message of salt
Sat, 26 November

“Blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy”. (Matt. 5:7).

‘Blessed are the merciful’ (v. 7) this is the fifth stage. Only a true believer can show real mercy and kindness. They will be able to show mercy to anybody, anywhere and at anytime. The most unlovely can be shown mercy, but it will be possible to us only if we have divine love. This love cannot be produced in us by any human activity or effort. It must be shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost. Only by such divine love will it be easy for us to forgive others. There are many hard-hearted Christians. Whatever love they do show is only in words and not from the heart.

We get an opportunity to show mercy in Christ’s name when others ask us to forgive them, (Matthew 18:35). I have known in my experience that many people, when they were touched by God’s word, went and apologized to the persons concerned. But those persons would sometimes reply, ‘Yes, I forgive you, but I don’t talk to you. I will forgive you, but please don’t come to my house any more’. That is not forgiveness. You must forgive them from the heart, even though they might have sinned against you many times (cf. Matt 18:21,22). Be merciful and kind and forgive others as our Lord also has forgiven you. See again Colossians 3:13,14. if you want to be merciful, then please be willing to forgive those who ask for forgiveness

It is only the Lord Jesus Christ that can put such love into our hearts. Oh, praise God, the ‘salt’ is a blessing, not only to our friends and relations but also to our enemies (cf. Romans 12:20,21). “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”
