The Other Fellow

Saturday. Luke 17: I-IO.

The other fellow has something to forgive, too. Don’t let’s forget that. He has our unforgiving spirit to forgive, at the least. And what is harder to come up against than that? Or, what is harder to forgive? And then there’s God. What has he to forgive in me and you? The only place where you are sure, really sure, not to fall is flat on your face in the dust, pleading God’s forgiving grace.
