Open Heavens For Teens 19th March 2026 – Show Mercy

TEENS OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY.

In today’s Bible reading, Jesus told a parable about a Samaritan who helped a man who was attacked by thieves while travelling. He had compassion on the man, bandaged his wounds, and took care of him. The Samaritan was full of mercy for the man whom he did not know. It is important to note that showing mercy involves being kind and compassionate, and forgiving both those we know and those we do not know.

When a fellow refuses to show mercy to others, he or she withholds mercy from himself or herself. For instance, the servant who refused to show mercy to his debtor in Matthew 18:23-35 lost the mercy he had earlier received from his own master. My dear child, you can show mercy by being kind to people and helping them in any way you can when they are in need. This is what God expects you to do, just like the Samaritan did.

Forgiving others when they offend you is another way to show mercy. In Matthew 18:21-22, Peter asked Jesus how many times he should forgive his brother who had sinned against him. Jesus replied that he is to forgive such a brother 70 x 7 times. Jesus expects you to forgive others when they offend you: it is an act of mercy.

KEY POINT:
If you want God to show you mercy, you must show mercy to others.
