Part Four: Mercy

“I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion” (Exodus 33:19b).

God’s rich,
abounding,
electing grace.

Bestowing on His chosen what they don’t deserve,
through Jesus’ work.
God’s eternal love.

What a comfort for His people!

And what a reminder that they are His ambassadors,
sent to proclaim the One who shows mercy and compassion for a time.
For the time is short.
Mercy and judgment walk hand in hand.
