Most of our ideas of might are associated with the "terrible majesty of God. E.g. the deluge; destruction of the cities of the plain; earthquakes, etc. These show might in connection with judgment. The text directs our thoughts to might in connection with mercy.

I. POWER IN THE WORKING OUT OF THE GREAT REDEMPTIVE PLAN.

1. Typical sacrifices.

2. Prophetic ministry.

3. Christ's atonement and intercession.

II. POWER IN THE SAVING AGENCY AT WORK IN THE WORLD.

1. The Divine Spirit.

2. The Church of Christ.

III. POWER AS SEEN IN THE LIVES OF THOSE SAVED BY DIVINE MERCY.

1. Their numbers. "A great multitude."

2. Their characters. Mary Magdalene; Saul of Tarsus; the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 6:11).

IV. POWER IN THE COMPLETION OF THE WORK OF MERCY. Resurrection of body, and eternal union of body and soul in glory. Conclusion:

1. The divine fight of mercy does not render personal effort unnecessary.

2. The fact that the Divine power and mercy are united in seeking our salvation should lead us to immediate and hearty surrender to God.

(Julius Brigg.)
