Today’s Bible Verse: “Because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven.” — Luke 1:78
Luke 1:78 reveals that God’s rescue story begins with mercy, not judgment. Advent reminds us that Jesus didn’t arrive with force or fanfare but as light rising slowly over a weary world. This verse highlights the compassion behind Christ’s coming—the kind of mercy that moves toward brokenness and brings hope where darkness has lingered.
