Because of His Tender Mercy

For me, Life is the Tender mercy of God in Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word of God. In fact, this Truth is simply All there is. Everything else in all creation, it seems to me, is ordered from this simple Truth. The Christian Apostle Paul kind of sums this all up in his inspired hymn to Christ and His Work in his letter to the believers in Collosae (Col. 1:15-20):

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together ... He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he himself might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile all things for him, making peace by the blood of his cross (through him), whether those on earth or those in heaven.
