In Luke 6, Jesus
challenges you to take the mercy you have
received from God and extend it to the
people in your life. Just as mercy marks
the character of God, it must mark yours.
There ought to be a family resemblance
between the Father and His child. The God
who forgives freely and loves lavishly calls
you to do the same. If God has mercifully
pardoned your faults, why should you refuse
to pardon the offenses of others? You can
show your appreciation for the countless
second chances God has given you by
extending second chances to those who
disappoint you.
