Man of Mercy, God of Grace, Jesus, Full of Forgiveness

 
Moses always wanted to see more of YHWH.  One day God agreed to come down and let Moses see a part of His glory.  Let's look at how several different translations render YHWH, I Am in Exodus 34:6.  We will see the bottom line.  What's that?  The mercy, grace, and forgiveness of our Lord incarnate Jesus.  I like to call Him, the Man of mercy, the God of grace, Jesus, full of forgiveness. . the great God, "I AM"
