After observations of posts relating to the video about the car accident rage, one element that I see that is extremely contrasted, is grace. Yea, the woman had not been very graceful with her outrageous behaviour, but so are many of the posts condemning her out there. Have there been any thought on how we have dealt disgraceful people, that it might bring up to mind that our own actions in such dealings were not that graceful also?
Yet, you have this elderly man, being the example of grace. Yea, he may be at fault in that accident, but certainly he bore the rounds of verbal fire and even beatings that dented his car, and was willing to pay for the little damage on the woman's car. And above all, he was rather quick to forgive. How patient and merciful this old man is!
Doesn't that remind us of the Lord God Himself? He dispensed immense grace and mercy to us, and was patient and quick to forgive our rather despicable, sinful behaviour. He even set out a plan to reconcile with us, the fallen mankind, by sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to dwell on earth and die for the sins of all men. And the difference between that old man and Jesus is this: the old man may have "kissed" the woman's car bumper; Jesus is not even at fault in anything.
All my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, do keep watch your moves, your tongues, your minds. Remember to show grace and love to others, as how we have been shown grace and love by God himself.
