Admit our ignorance and humbly ask.”

17/09/2022 (Sat) 08:30 In some school

I arrived at the school and got prepared for the class.

A janitor walked near.

Janitor said, “Teacher.”

I said, “Good morning.”

Janitor said, “Teacher, you can’t leave the computer that you borrowed from the school last week in the classroom. You have to return it to their general office.”

I said, “Who told you I borrowed it?

Janitor said, “Was it not you?”

I said, “No, it wasn’t. It’s one of your school teachers that lent me the computer. You can’t find my signature in the school equipment borrowing form yet, can you？”

Another me said, “The Lord is much more patient than you are. He is just kind.”

I said, “The Lord has the best temper in the universe.”

Another me said, “Whatever mistakes I’ve made, whatever sin I’ve committed, He will forgive me and take it as if nothing had ever happened.”

I said, “Who told you whatever sin you’ve committed, He will take us as if nothing had ever happened?”

Another me said, “Won’t He take us as if nothing had ever happened?”

I said, “If we sin and He takes it as if nothing had ever happened, where can His righteousness be found?”

Another me said, “Well, I don’t know.”

I said, “If this is true, why on earth did Jesus sacrifice Himself?”

Another me said, “I don’t know.”

I said, “Why don’t you ask if you don’t know?”

Another me said, “……”
