The Mercy of God
Mercy is kindness expressed in action toward someone who has committed an offense, an enemy, or someone otherwise within a person’s power. Mercy involves a differential of power or authority - the individual showing mercy is not obligated to show kindness or compassion, but provides a rescue, a relief, a way out of a situation that is causing misery, distress, or threat of harm or destruction.
Psalm 107
“Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
And he delivered them from their distress.” (ESV)
Mercy is a major theme across the Old Testament. From earliest times, God reveals that he is merciful.
Exodus 33:18-19
Exodus 34:6-7
Deuteronomy 4:29-31
Titus 3:1-7
goodness, lovingkindness, mercy, grace
Ephesian 2:1-10
God is rich in mercy
Matthew 9:10-13
Luke 6:35-36
Psalm 103:8-17
