Jesus, the Incarnation of Mercy

Have faith enough, dear Hearer, to believe that you need mercy. Mercy is not for the meritorious—the claim of the meritorious is for justice—not for mercy. Only the guilty need and seek mercy. Believe that God delights in mercy, delights to give Grace where it cannot be deserved, delights to forgive where there is no reason for forgiveness but His own goodness. Believe also that the Lord Jesus Christ whom we preach to you is the Incarnation of mercy—His very existence is mercy to you, His every word means mercy—His life, His death, His intercession in Heaven, all mean mercy, mercy, mercy, nothing but mercy! You need Divine mercy and Jesus is the embodiment of Divine mercy—He is the Savior for you! Believe in Him and the mercy of God is yours. ~Charles Spurgeon
