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!
