“Ministering Messiah’s MERCY!”

*MINISTERING = to be an attendant, to wait upon as a host, friend or teacher.

*MESSIAH = God’s Anointed One

*MERCY = to be compassionate – to have pity upon!

 Text: *Luke 6:36-42 – note V.36 be ye “AS” merciful as God your Father =just as much!  It’s funny how we want “ALL” God has to give to us but we want to give so little in return to Him and to His other children!

                                         #1 Messiah’s CASE

 *Reread Luke 6:37-38 – note 3 “EXAMPLES” - #1 JUDGE NOT – see *John 7:24 – not by appearance!

#2 CONDEMN NOT

See *John 3:17 then John 8:11 – Jesus sent to save not to condemn!

#3 FORGIVE NOT = no forgiveness;

See *Matt. 6:14-15 then Matt. 18:35 – from your hearts!

                                                      #2 Man’s CISTERN

*Reread Luke 6:39 – note “DITCH” (both’-oo-nos) a hole in the ground; specifically, a cistern = [man made]!

                                         #3 Master CONVERT

*Reread Luke 6:40-42 – note the “DISCIPLE” (the convert) should be like his/her MASTER! – note V.41 be quick

To judge yourself 1^st (see 1 Cor. 11:31)!  note V.42 be quick to cast out our own BEAM so we can RECOVER fully our own vision, so we can help our brother – see James 5:19-20 & Gal 6:1-2 – fulfill Christ’s law! King David was not able to see Uriah’s little lamb!
