*Bible study Title: The Mystery of Mercy*
*Text: Lamentations 3:22-23* – _“It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”_
*Theme:* Mercy is God’s kindness we don’t qualify for, but it sustains us, and calls us to extend it to others.

*Introduction: What Is Mercy?*
*Mercy means the timely renewal of Gods compassion*
*Mercy is the kindness of God to a man*
*A kindness that a man does not qualify for.*
*But for God we are not qualified yet he shows us kindness*
*Mercy is that kindness of the lord that witholds punishment*
*Mercy talks about the forgiveness of sin*
*Mercy talks about the release of the suffering of sin*
_Boost:_ Just like the air we breathe, mercy keeps us alive when we should have been judged. That’s why the psalmist said _“great is thy faithfulness”_ every morning. Mercy is God’s refusal to give us what we deserve.
---
*1. To Live In Mercy Is To Partner With God*
*1= To live in mercy is to partner with the lord who is rich in mercy.. When a man shows mercy he has displayed the nature and character of God*
*2= When we show mercy we are only given an offender what he does not deserve, what he is not qualified for..*
*Anyone you show mercy you are stronger and more holy than that man (Ephesians 2:4-5)*
_“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ”_
*Showing mercy can be painful and costly but it is worth it*
_Boost:_ Ephesians 2:4-5 shows us God’s pattern. We were dead in sin, but He showed mercy. When you show mercy, you are acting like God. The cross was painful and costly, yet it was worth it. That’s the model of mercy.

*3 Parts Ways Of Mercy*
*1= You must love the ministry of mercy (Micah 6:8)*
_“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”_
*Any man that must show mercy must begin by loving mercy*
_Boost:_ Loving mercy means your heart breaks for people the way God’s heart breaks. Mercy is not a duty. It’s a delight.
*2= Learn the ministry of mercy (Luke 6:36)*
_“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”_
*Every man shall know how to be merciful it is a learning process.*
_Boost:_ Jesus didn’t say “be perfect first.” He said “be merciful like your Father.” You learn mercy by practicing it — in your home, church, and workplace.
*3= You will reap the reward of mercy (Matthew 5:7)*
_“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.”_
*Therefore if you dont show mercy, no mercy for you. (James 2:13)*
_“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.”_
*The reward of mercy are for those who has shown mercy*
_Boost:_ Mercy is a seed. What you sow to others, God sows back to you in your time of need. The merciful are called “blessed” because heaven backs them.
---
*Quick Ways To Show Mercy*
*1= Be patient with people... especially mostly those who are not like you.*
*2= Always help those who are hurting*
*3= Learn to give people a second chance or chances.*
*4= Be kind to those who offend you.*
*5= Reach out with love to very difficult people*
*6= Learn to value relationship over rules.*
_Boost:_ Jesus modeled all 6. He was patient with Peter, He healed the hurting, He gave the woman caught in sin a second chance, He was kind to those who crucified Him, He reached out to Zacchaeus, and He chose people over the Sabbath rules.
---
*Conclusion: Mercy Is Heaven’s Restoration Agenda*
*Mercy is the restoration agenda for heaven*
*The bank of mercy and kindness lent you an overdraft in the time of adversity*
*2 Samuel 9:1* – _“And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?”_
_Boost:_ David didn’t owe Mephibosheth anything. But for Jonathan’s sake, he showed kindness. That’s mercy. Because of Jesus’ sake, God shows us mercy even in our weakness. Heaven’s agenda is not to destroy you, but to restore you.
*prayer point*
Today, receive the timely renewal of God’s compassion. And ask God: _“Lord, make me a vessel of mercy. Teach me to love mercy, learn mercy, and reap mercy.”_
