(1) "Now that we've had our debt paid, and our sins ?~have been moved as far as the East is from the West', and now that God promises ?~to remember them no more', we must pass that mercy on to the people who have wronged us, no matter how big the wrong.?
(2) "We must stop expecting people to behave like Jesus before they've even met Him. In fact, we must stop judging them and instead spend our energy trying to introduce them to Him.? (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:9)
(3) "Remember justice is God's job, not ours. So is revenge or payback. Our job is to be fair even when no one else chooses to be fair; even what doing so puts us at a disadvantage or makes us look weak.?
(4) "Now that we've been set free from the crushing burden of our sin (?~Can you remember that day?'), we must spend our lives setting others free, too. We must remember this wisdom, too, that people can't hear or see or feel hope when their stomachs hurt from hunger, or when they're watching their children die terrible deaths, or when they're being beaten and tortured and used as slaves---and worse. In as much as we're able, we must spend our days and our resources---indeed spend our very selves---setting them free from these things which grip them so tightly, like barnacles on a boat; freeing them from them---and our condemnation or even our apathy---so they're free to feel and see and hear the hope we have in us.?
