The Mercy We Didn't Earn

 Greg Carpenter

Good Friday, September 11, 2026, to you who love Jesus and those we might lead to Jesus.

DAILY PRAYER: 

Lord, help us to be merciful, forgiving, and compassionate, just as You are merciful to us. Let Your love shine through us today. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 

TODAY’S MESSAGE: 

“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Pastor’s INSIGHT:

Friends, 

God has shown each of us mercy, and Jesus calls us to share that same mercy with others. We all make mistakes and need grace.

Let’s choose to forgive, show compassion, and love one another, just as our Heavenly Father loves us.

Be merciful. Be kind. Be a reflection of Jesus wherever you go.

Brothers and Sisters,

Jesus reminds us that we are called to show mercy because our Heavenly Father has shown mercy to us. When someone hurts us or falls short, let’s choose grace instead of judgment, forgiveness instead of bitterness, and love instead of anger.

We may not always agree with one another, but we can always choose to treat each other with the mercy of Christ.

Let’s be examples of God’s mercy everywhere we go.

Church,

We are called to be a people known for mercy, grace, forgiveness, and love. Just as our Heavenly Father has shown mercy to us, we should show mercy to those around us.

Let the world see Christ through the way we treat people—not with judgment and condemnation, but with a heart full of compassion.

Church, let us be the hands and feet of Jesus, showing mercy wherever we go. 

Disciples,

Jesus calls us to show the same mercy that God has shown us. We will encounter people who hurt us, disappoint us, or make mistakes—but we are called to respond with grace, forgiveness, and compassion.

As disciples, mercy should be seen in how we treat others. We don’t deserve God’s mercy, yet He freely gives it to us. So let us freely extend that same mercy to others.
