When mercy rules, there is peace.
Proverbs 11:17, The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
Mercy has been defined as, not getting what we deserve. We deserved hell, but God didn’t send us there. What He did do was give us grace. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus to die on the Cross for our sin. He didn’t have to but He did! What mercy He has shown!
Taylor said, “Mercy is like the rainbow, which God hath set in the clouds; it never shines after it is night. If we refuse mercy here, we shall have justice in eternity.” I don’t know about you, but I would rather have mercy here because mercy is greater!
