“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. – Psalm 85:10
“Truth” and “Righteousness” don’t naturally lead to “Mercy” and “Peace”.
Truth is, every one of us have done selfish ungodly deeds. Righteousness demands wrongs to be corrected and we don’t have the wherewithal to comply.
We can not bring back the dead, can’t restored ruined reputations, can’t unhurt or put back what we have wasted.
But Christ, Jesus, can and he has. In Christ righteousness and peace “kiss” and make up. He paid for our sin, he can heal the hurt, even take the wrong and work it to every one’s good.
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ – Romans 5:1
