In 1984, the movie Karate Kid was a huge blockbuster hit. One of the most famous lines from the film was, “No mercy,” which was the mantra of the Cobra Kai Karate School. In the end, it proved to be a poor example of what anyone should live by. This week, in 1 Samuel 24:1-22, David finds himself in a situation that could have brought an immediate end to King Saul’s life. Instead, David spared Saul’s life. This week’s message offers a beautiful picture of what Christ has done for each of us; He gives mercy.
