and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the LORD is a God of justice,
blessed are all those who wait for him.
Isaiah 30:18
God our Father longs and waits to be gracious to us. He is always ready and waiting to show us His love and forgiveness. In His Son Jesus He reveals His mercy to us. His mercy is waiting for us in Baptism and in the Lord's Supper. At the same time God is a just God. Christ Himself paid the price of the Father's justice on the cross. He died for the sins of all people for all time. As we receive our Lord's grace and mercy here and now we are happy to wait for His return.
