Reflection questions:
In your own words, describe mercy. How is that demonstrated in Jesus through the cross?
What is necessary for us to be able to give mercy?
How has reflecting on the death and resurrection of Jesus affected you?
How do you demonstrate to the world the impact of Jesus’ death through your behavior?
Being as specific as possible, what are some things you can do to reflect the love of God?
The cross is a powerful demonstration of God’s love and justice combined. How does understanding the cross in this way affect the way you understand Jesus? How does it affect your understanding of Christianity?
What do you learn about mercy from focusing on Jesus?
How are you able to portray mercy?
How does the cross promote reconciliation in relationship?
This week, look for 1-1-1 opportunities: 1 thought-1 word-1 act. Spend time reflecting (1 thought) on the mercy of Jesus. Share your thought (1 word) with at least one person (whether they are Christian or not). Do one thing (1 act) that demonstrates response or gratitude for God’s mercy.
