Exodus 18:1-27; Psalms 56:1-57:11; Acts 10:1-23
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Psalm 85:10
Calvary’s cross was a meeting place of the ages. Inflexible truth and tender mercy came together there. Truth demanded sin be punished. But loving-kindness longed to shower blessing upon the offenders. Humanly speaking, such a meeting would have ended abruptly over irreconcilable differences. But at Calvary righteousness and peace kissed. The Saviour, “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14) made peace by the blood of His Cross. —P. Ramsay
Mercy and truth unite;
O, ‘tis a wondrous sight—all sights above.
Jesus the curse sustains.
Guilt’s bitter cup He drains.
Nothing for us remains—nothing but love. —Thomas Kelly
