September 14, 2025 – When the Blind Leading the Blind is a Good Thing
Sermon: 1660 The Magnificence of Mercy, Part 2
Pray Over This
“And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
Ponder This
A man was blinded in an accident. He was a young man who had spent most of his life with perfect eyesight. Following his accident, he was bitter, confused, hurt, and filled with remorse and confusion. After some time, he went to a school for the blind. He dreaded it but he went for a tour and his guide gave him all the instructions he needed like, “There are ten steps.” He said, “Count them as we go down. There are ten that go out of this building.” And he said, “I'll be right here at your elbow. In case anything goes wrong.” That gave the young man some assurance. They went down the ten steps. They took their time. And when they made the entire circuit of the campus, the young man was feeling better. After the guided tour, he said, “I know where I am. I feel a little bit at home.”
He told the guide, “Thank you so much. I had so much fear when I came here. But you've helped me so much. You've been very understanding. It's hard for someone to understand when you're blind.” The tour guide responded, “I can understand because I'm blind also.” Those who have received mercy know how to show it more than anybody else. If you haven't received mercy, no wonder you don't show mercy. If God, in love has forgiven us, how much more should we forgive one another?
- What are some of the ways God has shown you mercy? How has that impacted you?
- When has it been hard for you to be merciful toward someone else? What makes that challenging?
Practice This
Pray for someone for whom you have had a hard time showing mercy.
