Hello, my name is Marcus Mack. I'm a priest in the Church of England

What is God like? God reveals himself in the person of Jesus Christ
0:15
and one of the most wonderful things we see in his life and in his teaching
0:20
is his mercy towards others. He shows us what mercy looks like
0:25
Instead of being blind to our suffering, He has the eyes to see our distress, and instead of being unconcerned
0:33
he has the heart to experience compassion and pity towards us. Being moved, he has the motivation to respond practically
0:43
to relieve our suffering and acts with mercy, even when a person shows him hostility
0:51
Mercy can be defined as showing kindness and compassion to the undeserving
0:58
Jesus told us, we are to be merciful just as our Father in heaven is merciful
1:05
Too easily do we neglect mercy in the busyness of life, thinking that unimportant things are more important
1:11
than being merciful towards others. Imagine how different this world would be
1:17
if we all experienced this mercy and showered others with the mercy we ourselves have received
