DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 23:23-44; Psalms 135-136; Mark 9:14 -32
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged (lit. “atonement is provided”) Proverbs 16:6
That purging of our sin took place two thousand years ago at Calvary. God’s mercy was demonstrated in its fullness. He could have justly condemned us to a lost eternity, yet He chose to demonstrate His love, mercy, and grace to sinful men. The Lord Jesus could say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). Accept His cleansing today!
—William Gustafson
Mercy there was great and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty—at Calvary.
—W. R. Newell
