There was a young man who needed forgiveness. He would borrow his school Principal's pens and would seek to be sent to his office for this purpose. As soon as the principal would turn around to make a telephone call, the boy would take a cheap pen from the pen holder situated on the desk. But, it meant quite a lot to the boy. He wanted to feel forgiveness all day. What he wanted to feel was not only forgiveness but grace. It was costly to the school board in terms of time and extra pens. The young man could have read Romans 8 and decided to choose the forgiveness he wanted to feel in Christ and, instead of a pen, he could have bought a cross, follow the program in Ephesians 2:8 and confess as needed or directed by the great physician under 1st John 1:9. Keep the glasses you found on the TTC bus although they belonged to a young seminary graduate from Addis Ababa.
