We have already seen in our previous studies that the first section of the sermon in Matthew 5:1-12, commonly referred to as the Beatitudes, is a series of statements of fact describing the blessings that a person who is characterized by the qualities listed will receive. They are not a list of things you must do in order to get into heaven for these are not character qualities humans can develop on their own. They are the result of the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of an individual, and as such, they describe the righteousness that surpasses that of the Scribes and Pharisees without which no one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:20). This morning we will be examining the fifth of these Beatitudes listed in verse 7, 'Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.' If this beatitude was a common trait in mankind, there would not be wars, riots or exploitation. But mankind leans much more to being abusive than merciful, so these evils continue.
