Grace

I took an undergraduate course called Religion and Psychology. It was a very interesting class. During class we talked about grace and different takes on grace. My teacher stated that she read somewhere an article about grace and this is the gist of it all...


Think about sitting at God's table in Heaven. While you are sitting there the person to your left is the person who has had to forgive you the most or the biggest. They are someone that you have hurt. Now look at the person to your right. They are the person who you have had to forgive the most or someone that has hurt you.


The person to your left may be the same person to your right. While sitting there you are sitting between receiving grace from the person to your left and giving grace to the person to your right. It's kind of deep.


However, if you really stop and think about it...the person at the head of the table is the person you have sinned against the most, disappointed the most, and hurt the most. However, that person still allows you to sit with them at their table. God is just amazing isn't he?
