Mercy

Jesus Christ

There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.

— Richard Sibbes

God shows more mercy in saving some when He might have condemned all than justice in judging many when He might have saved none.

— Samuel Clarke (1599-1683)

Mercy sweetens all God’s other attributes. God’s holiness without mercy, and his justice without mercy, would be terrible.

— Thomas Watson (1620-1686)

God knows we have many miseries, so He balances it with His many mercies.

— Nathanael Holmes

From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat;
’Tis found beneath the mercy seat.

— Hugh Stowell
