—James 2:8-13
by: Gabi Patz.
James 2:8-13 reminds me of the parable told in Matthew 18:21-35 about the unforgiving servant, where a servant who was shown great mercy by the king, refused to show mercy to his peer. When the king heard of this, he became very upset and handed the servant over to the jailors to be tortured. Just like in this parable, James 2:8-13 tells us that we will be judged with the same mercy we give to others. God has been more merciful to us than we could ever be to anyone. Why should we refuse to be generous with the same mercy that we have been given?
