Seminary student #1: “hey! what is a good bible verse about grace that i can memorize like a mantra? (not john 3:16)”
Seminary student #2: mmmm, that's a question for [seminarian who likes grace a lot]
Seminary student #1: haha. duly noted.
Seminary student #2: or pick up your copy of Brennan Manning
Seminary student #1: good point.
Seminary student #2: I'm making such good suggestions.
Seminary student #2: but yet can't think of a verse...
Seminary student #1: well, i mean other than the one about you are saved by grace, not by works, that is somehow the only one i can think of
Seminary student #2: yeah, other than that one, I don't think the Bible says much about it.
Seminary student #1: interesting. i should have noticed this before now. hahaha.
Seminary student #2: wait, is that true? I was being an ass
Seminary student #1: hahahaha.
man, i am just in an accept-everything-state-of-mind.
how can i not think of any verses with grace!
ok, i'm doing a computer search
ok, there are like a million hits
you are never to speak of this conversation with anyone
hahaha
my grace is sufficient for you!
