Last Night's Play

I was thinking about the Christmas play we attended last night. The message was one of forgiveness. As Christ forgives believers of their sins, it is incumbent upon us to forgive other’s sins against us. In the play there are two groups, “hillbillies” and “city folk.” It is the hillbillies that are quick to forgive and then teach that lesson to their city cousins. The only problem is, the hillbillies at like they’re idiots. The people playing the parts did a very good job – especially the hillbillies. The problem as I see it is, it leaves you with the impression that only an idiot would practice such unequivocal forgiveness.
