28. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore. The kings of David’s line needed mercy, and mercy prevented their house
from utterly perishing until the Son of Mary came. He needs no mercy for
himself, but he is a representative man, and the mercy of God is required for
those who are in him. And my covenant shall stand fast with him. With
Jesus the covenant is ratified by blood of sacrifice and by oath of God; it
cannot be canceled or altered. The covenant of grace is sure to all the
descendants, because it stands fast with him with whom we are
indissolubly united.
