Introduction

In part I of this sermon I covered Matthew chapter 5:1-6. Today let me continue from where I stopped.

1. Practice an identity with people in need, (Matthew 5:7)

We are commanded to show mercy to others, (Luke 6:36, Colossians 3:12)
To show mercy means forgiving the guilt and being compassionate towards the weak, sick and the poor. Jesus’ ministry was an act of compassion.
Sometimes we have to feed the person before preaching to the person. Caring for the physical person opens a door to preach the Gospel.
Show kindness to those who are already around you (it could be as simple as a heartfelt smile or a kind word). Showing mercy is not situational. It should be a part of our lifestyle (Matthew 25:35-40). Click here to read the rest of, Sermon on Matthew 5:3-12 The Beatitudes–Part 2 (Final)
