The Cost of Mercy

The Cost of Mercy involves five concepts: a cost of safety, a cost of being out of our comfort zone, a cost of giving of our time, a cost of financial commitment, and a cost of pride. We are compelled to show mercy, which comes at a cost. Jesus gave up many things and paid it all. He became poor so we can become rich. He made himself a servant for us. The cost of mercy is the giving of oneself for another. We are instructed to Go and do likewise.
