Marvellous Mercy & Judgment

The Lord is indeed merciful and gracious and slow to anger. In his divine forbearance he has passed over many former sins. But there will be a day when the time of his patience comes to an end. And on that day, those who have presumed upon the riches of his kindness and forbearance without coming to repentance and faith will realise the wrath they have been storing up for themselves. This is the message Jesus brings in the Parable of the Tenants to those who have seen the way of righteousness but refuse to change their minds and believe in him. "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes."
