When Life is Unfair

Andy Stanley is pastor of North Point Community Church and son of Charles Stanley. In his book How Good is Good Enough his summary of Christianity goes something like this...  “Christianity is based on the premise that God laid aside fairness and opted for mercy and grace instead."  As we enter this Easter season, let's remember Mark 15 and what Jesus suffered in order to save a world of sinners.  Justice is getting what I deserve, mercy is not getting what I deserve, and grace is getting what I don't deserve...

"With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.  The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom." 
Mark 15:37-38
