Ever heard anyone grumble “it’s not fair”? Well; it’s a good thing that “it’s not fair” all the time! Let’s see; by now you’ve probably evaded punishment for . . . calculating rapidly . . . say; 539 offenses. Among other things; your parents never should have forgiven you for breaking the kitchen window when you played golf in the backyard; your brother should have returned the favor when you punched him in the arm; and your best friend shouldn’t have helped you with your homework after the joke you told about her in class. Yeah; grace is really great! Now imagine how it must have felt to be forgiven after burning down a house or for your enemy to save you from certain death. Or to nearly chop your sister in half with an ax or to wreck your father’s Jeep; only to discover that he’s more worried about your hands than his Jeep. Or even to be a convict saved from the death penalty—because your brother volunteered to die for you. Yeah; even though it’s not fair; grace is pretty awesome!
