Mercy

 "And so he went to the one in need and bound up the wounds, pouring in healing ointments, setting the victim on his own horse, and taking them to an inn". Luke 10:34.


Once, there was a Californian woman who was related to the owner of a popular social media app. All seemed well in her life until the day she found that she had been doxed on this very app, and she and her family were suddenly at serious risk.

Not knowing what to do or where to turn, she found herself being called by someone from the other side of the country who had heard of her predicament and was offering a lifeline.

Sounds to good to be true?

It happened in America this week - and the person offering this young woman assistance (in the form of giving her a place to stay in his own home) was none other than Florida Governor, Ron De Santis.

When the world becomes criminal in its actions and attitudes to others, the only answer is unmerited mercy.

That is why the answer to our troubles is the Good News of Christianity.
