Forgiveness as a Supernatural Event

Donald Miller has an excellent post about the recent perfect game pitched by Armondo Galarraga. I thought it was worth re-posting because it perfectly captures my thoughts on this event. I especially agree with the idea that forgiveness is other-worldly and counter-cultural, but I would take it one step further. Most people can forgive those who wrong them and are sorry. It takes a supernatural act of infused grace to forgive someone even when they are unwilling to own up to it. This recent episode is just a foretaste of how powerfully forgiveness can affect us.
