5th Description and Blessing: Verse Seven.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.”
Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”
2 Corinthians 13:14
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.”
“Blessed are the merciful.”
Who show mercy to men, to those that are poor, distressed, and miserable, in their outward circumstances; and inward sin, we need to show mercy to the souls of men.
To show mercy is very refreshing to, and desirable by God; it is what He requires, and it is desirable of a child of God, and what makes him more like to his Heavenly Father. The happiness of such persons is that;
“For they shall obtain mercy.”
Mercy from God, through Christ Jesus; which is free, sovereign, abundant, and eternal. Men are said to obtain mercy, when they are regenerated, and called by grace. Which merciful persons may expect to find and obtain, at the throne of grace, to help them in time of need; and who shall not only obtain mercy of God in this life, but in the world to come.
