Forgiveness is the great equalizer.
In extending Christian forgiveness, we acknowledge our own ongoing sins and failures and accept back those who have sinned against us in the knowledge that we, too, will fail them tomorrow and will go on failing them until the Lord returns.

Forgiveness makes every person my equal and everyone my
brother or sister in the only sense that equality can ever be attained on earth
and in the only sense that, from a human perspective, really matters.
But some people will not be forgiven.
