Mercy & Grace

Mercy withholds the knife from the heart of Isaac.
Grace provides a ram in the thicket.
Genesis 22:11-14
Mercy runs to forgive the prodigal.
Grace throws a party with a robe, a ring, & a fatted calf.
Luke 15:20-24
Mercy hears the cry of the thief on the cross.
Grace promises paradise that very day.
Luke 23:39-43
Mercy converts Paul on the road to Damascus.
Grace calls him to be the great apostle.
Acts 9:1-6, 17
Mercy closes the door to hell.
Grace opens the door to heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-9
and the diiference between mercy & grace is this
Mercy witholds from us what we deserve.
Grace gives us what we do not deserve.
