Analysis of Strange Intersection of Mercy (the Cross)
It makes little sense.
Finding a place of co-existence
For mercy and truth
For righteousness and peace.
God is so lofty and pure.
We are smudges
Of disappointment and doubt.
But at the Cross, reconciliation.
God abandoning His Wrath.
Comforting His adopted ones.
Honouring their Godly fear and repentance
.
This is Revival, friends.
Both personal and corporate.
Praise the God Who
Accomplishes this
With the obedience of
His Beloved Son, Jesus.
And with the Passions of that
Celebrated Hill.
Ranked a criminal.
But peerless in holiness and hope.
The Lord of Glory.
Celebrated by the Four Evangelists.
King, but servant.
Priest, but sacrifice.
Thirst, but sparkling satisfaction.
Lamb, but conquering Lion.
