Outrageous grace

Justice


We do good, and we get rewarded.


Or, we do wrong, and we get punished.

Mercy

(other hand behind back)

We do wrong, but we don’t get punished.

Grace


We do wrong, but we get a good gift.


My class of 6-8 year olds: WHAT?!?! No! That makes no sense!


Although I've taught the word 'grace' before, I think putting it in the context of justice and mercy - and using the actions - really makes it clear how startling it actually is.
