Wisdom for Living: The Wisdom of Reconciliation Part 3 (Chris)

Wisdom teaches us the virtue of Reconciliation.  It turns out that there are three parties to any relationship: us, the other person, and God.  Understanding this helps us to appreciate how to behave when we are wronged and when we wrong others.  The ultimate example in Scripture is the “Parable of the Prodigal Son.”  God provides us with radical grace.  We are called to do the same for others.
