Walter Brueggemann on Mercy in the Ruins - Progressive (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Source: Walter Brueggemann46 words
"Lamentations speaks from devastation—Jerusalem destroyed, people displaced. Yet HERE comes 'His mercies never cease.' This is not denial but defiance: hope voiced in ruins. God's faithfulness to the displaced, the refugee, the victim. Mercy comes where destruction has been." — Walter Brueggemann.
