Christianity places
forgiveness at the very center of man’s relationship to God, as an unmerited
gift. Taken to heart, this can’t help but color our dealings with one another.
The thing about forgiveness is that it is always unmerited. It is a renunciation
on the part of the one who offers it, a turning-away from pride that opens a
kind of manger in the heart. It is a humble place where something new arrives
and we turn toward it. A birth.
-Matthew B. Crawford, from here
