Commentary on Luke 1:72
Theological / DevotionalMercy. God’s mercy, in a certain sense, “kept secret since the world began,” was now to be “made manifest” (Rom. 16:25, 26). For countless generations those who sat “in darkness and in the shadow of death,” had waited for the incarnate Mercy of God to guide their “feet into the way of peace” (Luke 1:79).
His holy covenant. The “everlasting covenant,” as revealed to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, to Noah after the Flood, to Abraham and his seed, and to the faithful of all ages (see Gen. 9:16; 17:19; Lev. 24:8; Heb. 13:20). Here primary reference is made to the covenant as delivered to Abraham and his descendants (Gen. 15:18; 17:4-7).
