I know exactly what you're saying--I've wanted to write a post about mercy for some time, but I've been chicken. I guess I've read too many God blogs which declared they were being spiritual and right with their , "One strike and you're out!" attitude. Sigh.... Thanks for being brave enough to comment on this subject. Blessings, Debra Great post, Rodney!

Even the rich need to learn a few things. When we do wrong, there are consequences. What we have today is a society where everyone blames the other and few own up to their mistakes. I don't know if her story about "finding God" is true, but I sure do believe that this incident should at least get her thinking about her life. If jail time causes reflection, she might come out the better for it. Once she has PAID her debt to society, then I agree, mercy and restoration, to her, just like everyone else.

Just as Parris was wailing as she was removed from the courtroom, many who stand at the Great White Throne judgment will closely echo those words. Only, however, if they have not accepted the undeserved forgiveness made possible by Jesus Christ. P.S. Thands for stopping by The Powerhouse! Awesome post!
