For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.

Mercy is not getting what you do deserve. Grace is getting what you do not deserve.
