QUESTION: How much grace?
ANSWER: Grace is boundless and unmerited.
QUESTION: Who do you forgive?
ANSWER: Everyone.
Yeah, I know it’s not that simple—except, it really is. Not easy, for sure, but those are the principles to which we’re called.
So now I have a real-world question for you to ponder.
How do we act out those principles in the face of injustice?
Injustice doesn’t have to be human trafficking or murder. Let’s boil it down to something we all encounter. How do we act out grace and forgiveness when we encounter someone being bullied?
When I was a kid, the standard advice was Punch a bully in the nose. Now we hear Stand Your Ground.

The following situation isn’t truly hypothetical. It’s a sanitized compilation of some actual situations I’ve faced.
Suppose a guy in a wheelchair visited a public spot that, by its nature, was minimally accessible. And imagine that the guy and his companions were subjected to continual rude, insensitive comments from other patrons or staff members who objected to the perceived inconvenience caused by the presence of a wheelchair.
As a companion, What Would You Do?
As an observer, What Would You Do?
