That’s funny!

I had no intention of being critical of others with my post. I suppose I should have made it a bit more autobiographical. In my past (very recent past) I have spent a lot of time talking, speaking, and writing about grace, and very little time showing it or living it. I am trying to correct that.

I will make a post tonight about how I am doing this.

Excellent point. Jesus wasn’t gracious with everyone…He blasted the religious leaders of his day.

Of course, I don’t think I’m in a position to go around blasting any religious leaders. “To your own master you stand or fall…”

The older I get the more grace I extend, the more patient I become (ask my two sons for a witness!), and more and more intolerant of religion and legalism. There are other things that get me riled up, but those two are at the top.

I guess my point here is that in following Jesus he was always gracious with those who were in the greatest need spiritually. However, to the religious legalists he verbally hammered them.

If we are following Him as disciples should we follow the example He set for us?

His,

Jim
