Fydor Dostoyevsky caught the shock and scandal of the gospel of grace when he wrote:‘At the last judgement Christ will say to us, “Come, you also! Come drunkards! Come weaklings! Come children of shame!” And he will say to us: “Vile beings, you who are in the image of the beast and bear his mark, but come all the same, you as well.” And the wise and prudent will say, “Lord, why do you welcome them?” And he will say: “If I welcome them, you wise men, if I welcome them, you prudent men, it is because not one of them has ever been judged worthy,” And he will stretch out his arms, and we will fall at his feet and we will cry out sobbing, and then we will understand all, we will understand the Gospel of grace! Lord, your Kingdom come!”Romans 2:4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you toward repentance?
