The Forgiving Father
Have you ever thought about who you believe God is? Have you ever thought about who you really are? Jesus shows us the answers to these questions through the story of the prodigal son found in Luke 15:11-24. God is relational, merciful, forgiving, and wants to restore our broken relationship with Him. We, like the prodigal son, are trying to live life on our own terms doing what we want. We have all believed at some point, if not now, that the good life has nothing to do with God. We need to turn from our sins and go back to the Father, just as the son went back to his father.

Who are the Merciful (Matthew 5:7)
We are continuing our study in what is the Lord Jesus’ most extensive and detailed explanation of what it means to be in the kingdom of God. This is not an instruction manuel on how to enter the kingdom, but a description of those who are already in the Kingdom; a description of all true believers, what it means to be a genuine Christian. I have noted repeatedly, and will continue to do so, that being a Christian is not about what you do, but is a matter of who you are. God is utterly unconcerned about externals in themselves, but is intensely concerned about the condition of your heart. The Certainty of your Christian profession is not about what you do, but what defines you in your inner man, your character, your view of God, sin, Christ, self, others, and the world. This morning we will continue to examine what the inner man of a genuine Christian looks like, by looking at verse 7 of Matthew 5, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”

In View of God's Mercy
What is God's mercy and why do we need it? If we don't know the answer to these questions, chances are we have blindspots in showing mercy and compassion to others (especially those closest to us). Jesus helps us see these blindspots and floods us with His mercy to transform us into merciful people.
