Adam Clarke, on Luke 1:50
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Luke 1:50 · Douay-Rheims
“And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.”
On this verse:
“His mercy is on them that fear him - His exuberant kindness manifests itself in acts of mercy to all those who fear or reverence his name; and this is continued from generation to generation, because he is abundant in goodness, and because he delighteth in mercy. This is a noble, becoming, and just character of the God of the Christians; a being who delights in the salvation and happiness of all his creatures, because his name is mercy, and his nature love.”
