Thank you so much for this post. I have thought to myself that there was more in this story that the moral of giving mercy to one in need, but that Jesus was taking it further to have us ask: Am I able to receive mercy from my enemy? One that I may look upon with contempt? I came to your site to follow a link and Socrates and music and found so much good stuff. What a gold mine! I'll be here again! Wow.
