| Our Saviour kneels down and gazes upon the darkest acts of our lives. But rather than recoil in horror, he reaches out in kindness and says, 'I can clean that if you want.' And from the basin of his grace, he scoops a palm full of mercy and washes our sin. Author: Max Lucado |

In the ark there was a rod and a pot of manna, the emblem of a Christian's condition, mercy interlined with judgment. Author: Thomas Watson |
