Mercy In The Name
Duane Vander Klok
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Colossians 2:15
God’s mercy and redemption can be seen scattered throughout the pages of the Bible. In Colossians 2:15, we see how Jesus was victorious over all the powers of darkness, disarming them completely. His victory wasn’t just to prove His power; it was for us. His triumph made God’s mercy available in every form—saving mercy, healing mercy, and mercy that brings peace and joy.
Think about the two blind men near Jericho who cried out, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!” (Matthew 20:30). They sought healing mercy, and Jesus responded with compassion, restoring their sight. His mercy is just as present for us today whether we need physical healing, forgiveness, or strength to face life’s challenges.
God’s mercy flows from His love, but it is through Jesus that we experience it. His victory on the cross was not only about defeating sin and Satan but also about establishing His name as the way we approach God. In the name of Jesus, we receive forgiveness for sins, healing for our wounds, and deliverance from darkness. His name carries the power of His finished work, making mercy available to us at all times.
When you call on the name of Jesus, you are not just speaking words; you are invoking the authority of the One who reigns at the right hand of God. His blood speaks on your behalf, calling for mercy. Whether you need healing, forgiveness, or strength, His mercy is waiting for you. Trust in His name and find rest in His mercy today. In the name of Jesus, there is no limit to what His mercy can accomplish in your life!
