Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth, keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”
Exodus 34:6-7
This passage seems like a contradiction: is God merciful or does He punish the guilty?
But in truth, He's both. He's both the Righteous Judge and the Merciful Father.
The fearsome Wrath of God, but also the loving Lamb of God.
As the song goes:
But in truth, He's both. He's both the Righteous Judge and the Merciful Father.
The fearsome Wrath of God, but also the loving Lamb of God.
Lion of Judah
Lamb of God
glorious Conqueror
suffering Son.
Lion of Judah
with nails in His hands,
the mighty Redeemer
was meek as a lamb
