Mercy has become living and visible in Jesus of Nazareth, reaching its culmination in him. The Father, “rich in mercy” (Eph 2:4), after having revealed his name to Moses as “a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness” (Ex 34:6), has never ceased to show, in various ways throughout history, his divine nature.
Huruma imepata kuwa hai na yenye kuonekana katika Yesu Mnazareti, na hata ikafikia kilele chake katika Yeye. Baba “aliye mwingi wa rehema” (Efe 2:4), baada ya kumfunulia Musa jina lake kuwa ni “Mungu mwingi wa huruma, mwenye fadhili, si mwepesi wa hasira, mwingi wa rehema na kweli” (Kut 34:6), hakuwahi kuacha hata mara moja kuonyesha hali yake ya kimungu katika nafasi zote za historia.
