Grace Instead of Justice
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse is a profound cause for gratitude. God's treatment of humanity is based on mercy, not a strict 'eye for an eye' justice. Albert Barnes and John Calvin note that if we received what we truly deserved, we would face immense suffering and destruction. Instead, God shows forbearance, a truth that, as Charles Spurgeon urges, should continually inspire praise.
