Mercy Beyond All Understanding is a look at Mercy's interaction with humanity through the life of Israel and King David. The Mosaic Law and Mercy become personified within the court at King David's trail for his sin with Bathsheba. The Law demands nothing less than death for David, but Mercy standing as his Defense Attorney shows just how merciful God is.
David, the shepherd, the Psalmist, the King stands before Israel guilty of Murder in the First Degree. The Mosaic Law demands that justice is given for Uriah, Bathsheba's innocent husband, and the exacting penalty is nothing less than death. The drama of David's fate is played out in the High Court of God. The Law, the Prosecuting Attorney, and Mercy, the Defense Attorney are personified while David's life hang between the balance of life and death and faith and doubt. "How shall the Law obtain Justice through death?" How shall Mercy obtain compassion from God when David's sins have already condemned and convicted him?" By David’s own mouth he decreed his own sentence of death. “How shall David's journey make him encounter "Mercy Beyond All Understanding?"
