Grace
What is Grace ?
First a Story:
"A boy steals a bicycle from his neighbour and is caught in the act.
Justice is that he has to pay for the bicycle and return it.
Mercy is that his neighbour forgives him and takes the bicycle back.
Grace is the neighbour forgiving the boy
and then giving him the bicycle as a free gift."
Thus:
"Justice is getting what we deserve.
Mercy is not getting what we deserve.
Grace is getting what we don't deserve !"
