Holly Springs Baptist Church

When the disciples heard Jesus say that the merciful shall be blessed it opened up an area they were unfamiliar with. Jewish custom allowed "and eye for an eye" and now Jesus says that we are to be merciful to both friends and enemies alike. Today we are called to forgive as Christ has forgiven us, but it's much easier said than done. In this lesson we explore the deep subject of forgiveness and our call to show mercy to others that deserve revenge and retaliation.
