Treat others with mercy – Part II – Pastor Guillermo Jiménez

TREAT OTHERS WITH MERCY PART II

“God will establish one of David’s descendants as king. He will rule with mercy and truth. He will always do what is just and be eager to do what is right” (Isaiah 16:5 NLT).

Yesterday we spoke about the first two essential characteristics that an influential leader needs to have, but today we will learn about the last two qualities every person in a position of leadership must possess. Let’s view them:

3. They do what is just.

“… He will always do what is just…” (Isaiah 16:5 NLT).

The leader after God’s heart treats others equally. They are not respecters of people.

“For God does not show favoritism” (Romans 2:11 NIV).

4. They are eager to do what is right.

“… and be eager to do what is right” (Isaiah 16:5 NLT).

They honor and are people of integrity. They do not use their position to take advantage of others. They live to serve people and to add value unto them.

Jesus said:

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12 NIV).

The Bible also says:

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (Micha 6:8 NIV).

Lord, help us represent you well in the functions you have given us at home, at work, at school, and at church. Help us to reflect your mercy, justice and truth, amen.

Think about it:

How do you wish to be treated? Are you treating others in that way?
In places like work, home, school and church, how are you transmitting the previous characteristics?
