What reading level is Bible Lessons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Resentment is, therefore, inconsistent with a complete forgiveness, but not with the attitude of forgiveness. Now let us return to the important question which we touched on above. Is it possible to forgive and to punish at the same time ? Can we sincerely say to a man who has robbed us and begs us to pardon him, " I forgive you, but I must hand you over to the law " ?
Pupil, The man, at all events, would not be likely to believe in our sincerity.
Teacher. I don't think he would ; and many of u...s would be in- clined to suspect our own sincerity. The words " I forgive "-are so easy and so cheap that one feels ashamed at uttering them, unless one proves by action that they mean something. Yet we said above that it is possible, though very difficult, to forgive and to punish. And take another case. Imagine the first Brutus judging his trai- torous sons and condemning them to death. It is quite possible that he may have condemned them in stern resentment ; but it is also conceivable, is it not, that he may have spoken to them previously in private, have mourned over them and with them, like a father with children, have comforted them and encouraged them to meet death FORGIVING IMPLIES SACRIFICE.
