Commentary on Luke 6:36
Jesus commands: 'Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.' The word 'merciful' (Greek 'oiktirmones,' οἰκτίρμονες) means compassionate, showing pity. The standard is divine—'as your Father is merciful.' We're to mirror God's character, showing the same kind of compassion He shows. This isn't advice but command—'be ye'—and the motivation is family identity—'as your Father.' Children resemble parents; God's children should reflect His merciful character. Mercy flows from experiencing mercy—those forgiven much show much compassion.
