Just a quote I read today that I found worth sharing:

Bono, lead singer of the band U2, said:

"The most powerful idea that's entered the world in the last few thousand years—the idea of grace—is the reason I would like to be a Christian. Though, as I said to [U2 guitarist] The Edge one day, I sometimes feel more like a fan, rather than actually in the band. I can't live up to it. But the reason I would like to is the idea of grace. It's really powerful." Quoted in an interview with Anthony DeCurtis (2-20-01)

It reminds me of a song we sing that says, "It's your kindness Lord that leads me to repentance." Grace is so foreign to our world which demands fairness, justice, and their pound of flesh. And yet, it is so attractive and though we don't completely understand it we desperately long for it.
