It always amazes me when I hear that promise from Jeremiah, “I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sins no more.” But we keep remembering again and again – at least I do, about certain things.<br /><br />Only at the end, the “for me, for me” is a little jarring. As followers of “The Selfless One” would it not be more appropriate for us to say, “for me too, for me too,” or “even for me, even for me”? At least the brothers at Nicaea wrote “Who for US men, and for OUR salvation …” rather than “for me and my salvation.” <br /><br />Peace and Joy!<br />George A. MarquartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
