Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy
The merciful are those who have compassion for others, who with all their hearts pity those who have fallen into misfortune or unhappiness, and who try to help them with good works.
Works of mercy are both physical and spiritual.
Bodily works of mercy:
1. Feeding the hungry.
2. Giving drink to the thirsty.
3. Clothing the naked.
4. Visiting those in prison.
5. Visiting the sick and helping them recover or preparing them for a Christian death.
6. Inviting strangers and foreigners and travellers into one's home and giving them rest.
7. Burying the dead.
Thank you for posting that!
Every Christian should post this around their home: Matthew 25:34-46
Faith without works is dead!
"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
