“Out of the mercy seat made [He] the cherubims.” Just as the cherubims were the product of the mercy seat, so we are the direct outgrowth of the Mercy of God. Thus, we are called, “Vessels of mercy.” From start to finish, there will never be a time in the life of God’s Elect that God’s Mercy is not needed. From a towering King David, to the lowly publican, all are in need of God’s Mercy. Whether acknowledged or not.
God’s Mercy is described as great, rich, manifold, plenteous, abundant, sure, everlasting, tender, new every morning, high as heaven, filling the earth, and His delight. Is it any wonder then, that darling David said, “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever.”
And he knew better than most the need of God’s Mercy. Listen to him crying out to his God for mercy, after that dark, dark, night of his soul, when he sinned against a Holy God. “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.”
O, child of God, are you in sins clutches? Then flee to the Mercy Seat. The Blood has been applied. And HE promises to meet you there.
‘Take heed of abusing the mercy of God…To sin because mercy abounds, is the devil’s logic…he that sins because of God’s mercy, shall have judgement without mercy.”(Thomas Watson)
