Mercy, Truth, Justice, and Righteousness


Isaiah 16:5  
In mercy the throne will be established; And One will sit on it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, Judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.”

Just as an earthly king would be given by God, so in a larger sense the King, the Messiah/Christ would be given to us.  He reigns in truth.  He is just.  He is righteous and brings righteousness quickly.  So Jesus the Christ is the truth since He is God's word, the only way of righteousness, and so life is only found in His suffering, death for our just punishment for our sin, and resurrection for a sure hope of never ending life with Him.
