MERCY VS. RELIGION

"Be merciful like your heavenly Father. Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults - unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don't condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you'll find life a lot easier." -Luke 6:37-40 The Message (MSG)

Jesus was accused of hanging out with "crooks and riffraff." The religious bullies and gatekeepers of his days, was bent on talking him out of showing mercy to those who need help - God's help. But, not my Jesus! He didn't mind breaking the rules set up by these religious bullies and gatekeepers to bring the light of the gospel to those who truly needs it.

Keep doing good. Doing good is good for you.
