Some time ago, In wechat I shared a short message “blessed are the merciful, for they should receive mercy”, not long later our pastor’s wife also shared same message about mercy in the church.
in Matthew 9:13 Lord Jesus says that I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. We should learn from the Lord, be merciful to other people, be merciful to the sinners.
When Lord Jesus was crucified, to those who crucified Him, He said Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing, we see Lord’s great love and mercy.
In Matthew 5:44 Lord Jesus says that But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
I shared the gospel on a wechat chat group, once there was a person who against the gospel and told me to stop sharing the gospel. I waited before the Lord, the Lord told me to pray for his salvation, he was in need of prayer, if I prayed for him, he will be saved. Later I continue sharing the gospel on the wechat chat group.
As we know that Apostle Paul was very much againt the christians at beginning, he persecuted the church, later he repented and mightily used by the Lord.
