     It’s been sixty years but I still remember the story.  It was all over the newspapers at the time.  A man and woman had begun early in the evening to argue.  At 3 AM, weary and worn, they were still bickering.

Finally the man went to sleep.

At which time the woman got a gun and shot him dead.

Her first visitor in jail was the father of the man she had killed, and his first words were, “I forgive you.”  The next day it made the front pages.

Had he stood on the jail house steps and vowed vengeance, it might have made the last page of the newspaper or buried opposite the obituaries.  Or received no notice at all.  But Christian forgiveness under such circumstances?  Well now, when a Christian acts like it - that is news.

The agnostic H. G. Wells wrote the following, “Christianity will never work because Christ is too big for the little men and women he must work with.”

The sad fact is that many people never really expect Christians to act like it.

 

The Prodigal Son finally got it right.  Filled with remorse.  Finally able and willing to face what he had become and what he must undo, he simply said, “Make me even as a hired servant.  Make me everything but what I was.”

One modern day philosopher put it well, “As a Christian, it is not your job to “whittle” sticks.  You are called to build temples.”  (Edgar De-Witt)
