Word For the Day Matthew 5:7 (KJV)

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

COMMENTARY: Those who are merciful...shall obtain mercy has references to those who have been born again by the mercy of God. Because divine love has been extended to them, they have the work of the Holy Spirit in them producing a mercy that defies explanation by unregenerate men. Jesus Himself became the ultimate example of this when He cried from the cross, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34)
