His Example is mercy in place of certain laws that show no mercy, such as stoning to death an adulteress caught in the act with the legal amount of witnesses against her.
More mercy when He declared all foods clean if receive with thanksgiving, for giving thanks hallows.
He provides justice for all on the Cross, freeing all who would receive Him from the guilt of sin, that is breaking the law. Mercy is in this cause also, but I stress justice for no man can justify himself by his own action in obeying the law. This is a gift from Jesus to all, again, who accept it. The guilt of our sin is not imputed against us after we com to Jesus Christ, tus, while we are taught to be imitators of Christ for instance obeying the law, He has been perfect for us as we are being perfected. We will not be perfect until He returns, therefore even as obedient children we require grace for our salvation, but always, out of education and thanksgiving, we do our best to obey all of God's desire.
Learning from Jesus Christ, and believing His Word lights our way, for He is the Way. God is good to all who wait on Him. Some translations say, God is good to all who love Him. Both are perfectly sensible in the Spirit.

Actually he showed mercy when he allowed a rebelious and sinful nation to go on for centuries before he finally went to the final area of discipline in lev 26 (military defeat and complete removal from land until the repent) and even today he proves his mercy by the fact they still, as a nation, exist.
He lived to complete all righteousness, bringing the gospel to all who would receive it, and dying on the cross to bring salvation to all, also who would receive it. If yo need more, all you need do is read His teachings, beginning, I suppose with the sermon on the mount where He repeats many teachings from the Old Testament writings.
It strikes me as odd that anyone who believes would need to ask this question, unless, of course it is for the edification of others. God bless you in Jesus Christ I pray, amen.

Obviously, you have something specific in mind that you have read, however in thinking more about it, it is a wise question indeed.
Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life. No one will come to the Father but by Him..
Now, I do not know exactly what specific or specific you are going for , but He certainly explains Himself in these declarations.
By His teachings, which are on the hearts of believers and not memorized rote, we know most of why He is as He is.
Am I on some kind of trial here? I
kind of feel like it, but if not, why don't you share what is goin on in your mind and what is actually behind your question.

I highlighted the part that I also think shows love justice and mercy. It's the persuasion that I see even though I don't have a cow or anything like that. My neighbor, who was a very good person, had a pasture with a herd of cattle next to our property however, so I took this law to heart for loves sake. Nothing happened bad, and our love for each other continued to grow to the point of his death. Mercy, judgment and love flourished in our relationship.
I have learned we are to follow His Example and forgive others, and show mercy whenever nit is needed, to love all and especially to love our God. Now you have an agenda here. I am not going to start with how He was here to do the Fathers will, nor any of the other reasons He gave for His being here, for they are not only all known quite well, they were prophesied throughout the Old testament. He did fulfill all righteousness, and much more.
Why are you, I suppose a person who is following His Example, grilling a brother in Christ? You have a motive, itis certain, and I just pray it is good......God bless you with wisdom and the sense to honor your brethren, even if he is not imbued with the wisdom you are.........

How can there be mercy in the law when disobedience to the law brings death.
The only mercy that can be found in the law is what it leads us to. which is christ
That is the purpose of the schoolmaster.
The only mercy in the law can be found in love, yet that law was not new at the giving of the law to moses. It was already well established from the time of Adam.
