Ministries of Mercy – Session VIII
Word and Deed: A Balanced Testimony
Teaching: John Bennetch
Excerpt:
“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” (Luke 10:36-37)
“The ministry of mercy is not just a means to the end of evangelism. Word and deed are equally necessary, mutually interdependent and inseperable ministries, each carried out with the single purpose of the spread of the kingdom of God.” ( Keller, p. 106)
