Mercy Factor

Scripture:Matthew 20:29-34, Mark 10:46-52
When everything else has failed,cry out for God's mercy and His mercy will work out for you,He will make a way for you. FOR HIS MERCY OVERCOMETH HIS JUDGEMENT.
   Mercy is translated from the Hebrew word ''Kheh-Sed''; meaning kindness,favor,pity,acts of kindness,goodness,love,faithfulness.
  The law according to the judgement says you don't deserve to be blessed because of sin. But the law according to mercy says because of God's kindness,compassion,goodness and favor.(Deuteronomy 4:31, Psalm 103:17, Psalm 108:4, Lamentations 3:22-23),we will blessed.
  From the above scriptures,the two blind men and blind Bartimaeus used the same approach,a right approach and it worked for them. They both first told Jesus to have mercy upon them,why?
Why didn't they plead with Jesus to first heal our eyes or restore their sight? They realized that they needed the mercy of God in order to get what they wanted.
 Jericho- a city destroyed and cursed by Joshua (Joshua 7:26) a land of accursed,helplessness.
This was the land Jesus was coming out from but He is full of life,hope. These blind men were standing on the Highway of hopelessness,this highway can be of a country,different situation.
 Reasons why they first pleaded for mercy:
-Their location:the highway of hopelessness
-Their life:the state of their life,their sins and felt they did not qualify for the blessings of God
-Perhaps the commandment,word of God that they had broken,that is steps or actions they took that were not pleasing to God.
It is through God's mercy we gain access to the throne of God and it is in His presence we get His blessings.
God's mercy will qualify you for what the law disqualifies you for.
Also one factor that gives long life is the mercy of God.(Joel 2:13, Micah 7:18)
By God's mercy we receive forgiveness of sin (Titus 3:5)
-We must cry out to God for mercy
-We must believe God's word of His mercy
-His divine mercy is shown to us (Genesis 18:26)
-In order to get mercy from God we should also exercise mercy to others. Proverbs 3:3, Matthew 5:7.
