Jesus is not just a ticket to get out of hell for free, but the example of how we live as people of faith both in life and in death. In the resurrection Christ becomes the one thing we need in this life to begin living into the life to come.
Our focus on being right obscures our vision of the one thing in our lives. We need to lay aside our own pride and need to always be correct and allow ourselves to simply follow Christ where He leads.
Mercy is the language of the reign of God. As we work towards living on Earth as it is in Heaven, we must speak the language of mercy in our own lives.
