How does Jesus demonstrate mercy in the temple?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus demonstrates mercy in the temple by healing the blind and lame who come to Him after cleansing the temple (Matthew 21:14).

Following the cleansing of the temple, Jesus showcases His mercy by allowing the blind and the lame to come to Him, and He heals them (Matthew 21:14). This act illustrates the character of Christ as not only a righteous judge but also a compassionate Savior. In contrast to His judgment on the corrupt merchants, Jesus extends grace and healing to those in need. This duality of His ministry emphasizes that while God's holiness calls for judgment against sin, His mercy offers redemption to those who seek Him with humble hearts, reminding believers of the importance of approaching Christ for mercy and healing.
