1 | What is mercy? | Matt 5:7 | Searcher56 | 153180 | ||
It is the person with power, not just authority ... as we see David grant KING Saul at the Rocks of the Wild Goats ... he spared his life (1 Sam 24:1 ff). | ||||||
2 | What is mercy? | Matt 5:7 | Just Read Mark | 153207 | ||
I like the example of Saul and David. Saul was king, but in that instance David had the power. So David had mercy on Saul. Turning now to the Good Samaritan --- we don't usually think of Samaritans as having power to yield. But he had the resources to aid the wounded traveller, so perhaps that is power enough. Aid was his to either give or withhold, and he was merciful. Does that follow from your statement about power and mercy? |
