The significance of Mercy
Mercy triumphs over judgment:
James 2:13
For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
God desires mercy not sacrifice:
Matthew 9:13
Go and learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Divine wisdom is full of mercy:
James 3:17
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere
Mercy makes us trustworthy:
1 Corinthians 7:25
Now concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.
God’s mercy brings us salvation:
Titus 3:5
He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 9:2
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.
Thoughts on This Verse....
This great promise in Isaiah was fulfilled with the coming of Jesus (see Matthew 4:15-16; Luke 1:79). As darkness falls tonight, look out at a street light and capture it in your memory so that every time you see a light shining in the darkness it will remind you to do two things: give thanks to God for sending his light and commit yourself to sharing that light with those you know.
