The Day Mercy Won 

Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

He was Pierced for our transgressions… Crushed for our iniquities… His punishment brought us peace… His wounds healed us. Don’t ever forget that Mercy Won. When you and I should have been pierced for our transgressions. When we should have been crushed for our iniquities… Mercy triumphed over Judgment. The problem with American’s is not that we need to love ourselves more. No, we need to Glory in the Cross more. You can’t save yourself…you can’t comfort yourself when everything around you is falling apart. That is why the Love of God is the hope of the world!
