“I pity the fool!” Can you see it? The mohawk! The gold chains! The black van with the red accent! Mr. T’s line was a mainstay during the A Team series. I had not realized until this week that Mr. T’s statement is an oxymoron. Mr. T did not pity anyone, in fact, he did exactly the opposite of pitying his enemies, he delivered justice with brute wrath and we all cheered him on. Mr. T, while rough around the edges, is a very likable guy but you would never want to be on the other end of the sentence, “I pity the fool,” because you would receive no pity, no reprieve, no mercy from the strong man. God on the other hand is different, mercy is one of his greatest attributes and one that we seek to receive in abundance. In this message we are going to look at the blessing of receiving mercy and seeing God. Pastor Matt McCarter
