| The Mystery of Mercy |

The greatest story ever told transcends many genres.

As a drama it tells the story of one who sought to change the world, his world.

As an action piece it tells of grand armies clashing, and gruesume death on the Roman cross.

As an autobiography it is God's story written for His people so that they would know Him, and know Him more fully than ever before.

As a mystery it is the story of the most unconventional king ever and how His mercy was manifested.

His mercy is a mystery; His love is undeserved, His faithfulness is beyond understanding, even His death and resurrection were entirely unexpected. The manifestation of His mercy is unconventional and, because of this, I reap the rewards.

It was the twist that no demon or devil saw, that no man understood, that the death of a king would burst forth a spring of living water for all to drink. It was life everlasting only days removed from tragic death.

I'm just glad to be a small part of the greatest story ever told, for I have been included in His miraculous mercy.
