Have you considered the magnificence of mercy?

Listen to Adrian Rogers.

What is mercy?

What is this quality of mercy?

It is compassion in action.

That's what mercy is.

Not softness, not sentiment, but compassion in action. Now, I want us to think about this beatitude,

blessed or the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Welcome to Love Worth Finding. Acclaimed pastor

and beloved Bible teacher Adrian Rogers said, God doesn't deal with us on the basis of fairness.

God deals with us on the basis of fairness. God deals with us on the basis of mercy.

And as we just heard, mercy is not just softness or mere sentiment. It's compassion in action.

This is a godly characteristic, one that resides in the hearts and minds of those who've accepted salvation from Jesus Christ,

and it actively reveals itself as compassion for others.

If you have your Bible, turn to Matthew chapter 5.

Look at verse 7, as Adrian Rogers reveals more about the magnificence of mercy.

Would you find again the beatitudes, Matthew chapter 5, we're calling these the keys to the kingdom.

And these are statements that Jesus Christ has made, and he begins each one of them with the word blessed.

The word blessed is almost hard to translate.

We could say happy, but it means more than happy.

It means fulfilled.

It means with joy.

It means complete.
