203 Matthew 25 Mercy, Mercy and More Mercy

In Matthew 25 Jesus tells three parables as the cross is looming in his consciousness. Each one demonstrates the primary ethos of the Kingdom of Heaven is mercy. We discover there is a very close relationship between the oil referred to in the parable of the ten girls and mercy. Then in the three servants we discover that one of them saw his master as being without mercy which illustrated that we react to God in the way we see him. The last story is of the sheep and goats who either lived a life of mercy or apathy toward the marginalized of society. We discover that mercy is the foundation of the final judgement.
