Part 2

the eyes of mercy

Jesus saw sin as a sickness, and as a prison, and He came to heal the sick and set the captives free. Mercy understands that people can be victims of sin, and that no one can overcome their sin condition on their own.

Mercy has eyes to see people who are helpless to overcome their sin. It sees the prison of the sin nature from which people have no human escape. Mercy unlocks the prison door so that they might choose the grace of God.
