Keeping Score? by Amma Susan Sep. 13, 2020
An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. I have a score to settle. An accounting must be made. Justice must be served. This is the economy of the world. It is not God’s economy. It is not the way of God’s people; a called-out people. People of faith are called out of the ways of the world; ‘chosen’ in our response to God’s will by a desire to reflect back out into the world, God’s love and mercy as we have experienced God’s love and mercy. (1 Pet. 2:9-10)
