Jun 12, 2021 · In that moment, Jesus restored to Peter the honor of one day fulfilling his vow. And lastly, Jesus restored Peter to his ministry calling. Peter had been deeply humbled; he was weaker, which made him stronger in the ways that mattered most. Peter had turned from Jesus but had now re-turned, and was received by Jesus with open arms.

The first great glimpse of God’s mercy came to Moses. In one of the most important passages in all the Bible, after Moses has asked God to show him his glory, God answers, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I wil...
Moses’s glimpse of the merciful God rightly became the leading revelation in Israel. It would be remembered, even as his people turned their backs to him, “the Lord your God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him” (2 Chronicles 30:9). The prophets celebrated him as “gracious and merciful” (Isaiah 30:...
In the generations after David, Israel fell into a spiral of moral decline. Eventually came the bleak moment Moses had foreseen as inevitable in the hard and wandering hearts of the people. In 587 BC the Babylonians besieged, conquered, and decimated Jerusalem. It was the most tragic and horrific moment in all the Old Testament. The city was so fam...
Then, in the fullness of time, God sent his own Son not simply to dispense his mercy, but to embody it. Jesus is the Mercy of God made human. He didn’t just teach his people to echo God’s mercy in their lives (Matthew 5:7; 18:33; Luke 6:36; Luke 10:37), but he himself was, and is, the mercy of God to us. Fittingly, the most prominent request made o...
Our God is not simply sovereign, wonderful as it is to celebrate. And he is not only a God of uncompromising justice, thankful as we are that he is. He is the mercy-having God who invites us to look not only at his awesome authority and sovereign strength, but to set our eyes on his mercy and see into his very heart. Entrust yourself to the God who...
Mar 1, 2018 · Jesus offers a different view. The Christian view of human beings is that we are a creation of God, made in his image, and for his purposes. And the physical body is a small, but important part of that creation. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it” (1 Cor. 12:27) 4 Things Jesus Said About the Human Body 1.
Dec 15, 2016 · Not only did the Son of God have — and still has — a fully human body, but also a fully human mind, heart, and will. His Human Body. The New Testament is clear enough that Jesus has a human body. John 1:14 means at least this, and more: “The Word became flesh.” His humanity became one of the first tests of orthodoxy (1 John 4:2; 2 John 7).
As a matter of fact, however, the term for “flesh” used by St. John (sarx in ancient Greek) could mean not just the human body, but the whole of human nature, body and soul. Moreover, nothing could be clearer from the Gospel story than the fact that Jesus shared in all natural human affections, as well as the virtue of mercy from the Holy Spirit, accompanied by tender compassion for all ...

No. While he was yet a great way off, the father saw him, was filled with compassion, and ran to meet his son. In my mind, there is no more beautiful lesson in all of the scriptures about the grace and mercy of God. Such are the manifestations of the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father.
