Today we conclude the definition of Mercy. What it means and Christ our example of it.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: There are three things to observe here, (1) that everything has its fore-determined time, in which there lies both a determined point of time when it happens, and a determined period of time during which it shall continue; and (2) that every matter has a time appointed for it, or a time appropriate, suitable for it. (3) That all these are determined by a Sovereign God in their proper order.

1. Yea, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

We are satiated with what we hungered and thirsted over, the Righteousness of Christ.

1. And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.

How does one become a member of one of the Lord's churches?

From pre-creative eternity to the Resurrection God purposed the redemption of his people.

The Vanity of Self-Indulgence, v.1-11

There are some things that keep us from hungering and thirsting after righteousness. How do we increase our desire to righteousness that we might please God?
