"The word of God is the greatest, most necessary, most important thing in Christendom. Without the external Word we would not know one spirit from another...Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scripture." - Martin Luther

Mercy that mystifies the Soul



An amazing picture of what mercy - instead of justice - can do to the soul! This clip, from "The Mission", portrays Rodrigo Mendoza(Robert DeNiro)who is a slave trader, mercenary and murderer (who killed his own dear brother) who revisits the Indian tribe he once slaughtered...only to find a strange twist of fate...which absolutely mystifies and breaks his soul!
What a picture of the mercy of God in Christ!
