马太福音-Matthew 5章7节
| 5:7 |
怜悯人的人有福了，因为他们必蒙怜悯。 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. |
Enlightenment:
To receive mercy is to get better than we deserve. If we are merciful to others, the Lord will grant us mercy (2 Tim. 1:16, 18), especially at His judgment seat (James 2:12-13).
To be righteous is to deal with yourself in a strict way. We must be righteous in dealing with ourselves. We should not give ourselves any excuse. Toward others, however, we must be merciful. If we are diligent to seek the surpassing righteousness, we shall eventually become merciful toward others.
亮光
蒙怜悯是得着我们所不当得的。我们若怜悯别人，主就要怜悯我们，（提后一16～18，）特别要在祂的审判台前怜悯我们。（雅二12～13。）
义是严格对待自己。我们对待自己必须是义的，不该给自己任何借口。然而，我们对别人必须是怜悯的。我们若殷勤寻求超凡的义，最终就会怜悯别人。
