DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the profound mercy of God in his sermon 'I,
Even I,' focusing on Isaiah 43:25, where God declares His authority to
forgive sins. He highlights the gravity of our offenses against God,
including the violation of His law and covenant, yet reassures us of
God's willingness to blot out our transgressions for His own sake. The
repetition of 'I, even I' serves to remind us of the personal nature of
God's forgiveness and the depth of His love despite our shortcomings.
Brooks calls believers to recognize the seriousness of their sins while
also embracing the hope found in God's mercy.

"I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions,

for My own sake, and remembers your sins no more."

Isaiah 43:25

"I, even I," is a passionate and emphatic expression.

"I, even I," whom you have offended,

"I, even I," whom you have provoked,

"I, even I," whose glorious name you have profaned,

"I, even I," whose righteous law you have violated,

"I, even I," whose holy covenant you have transgressed,

"I, even I," whose mercies you have despised,

"I, even I," whose chastisements you have slighted,

"I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions,

for My own sake, and remembers your sins no more."

Isaiah 43:25
