The
condition of many persons calls for the exercise of genuine mercy.
Christians, in their dealing with one another, are to be controlled by
principles of mercy and love. They are to improve every opportunity for
helping fellow beings in distress. The duty of every Christian is
plainly outlined in the words: “Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:
condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be
forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together, and running over.” “As ye would that men
should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” These are the principles
that we shall do well to cherish.
Let
those who desire to perfect a Christlike character ever keep in view
the cross on which Christ died a cruel death in order to redeem
humankind. Let them ever cherish the same merciful spirit that led the
Savior to make an infinite sacrifice for our redemption.
