The mercy of God is such a marvel. We see this in both thepromise of the future Offspring of the woman and in the skins God used to clotheAdam and Eve. This theme continues all the way to the cross. The sacrifice ofChrist shows the full mercy of God. In response, we are to show mercy to one another.
