Many years ago my old Christian mentor told me this story of a young woman who she brought to Jesus. This woman had serious difficulty with dealing with her past, and struggled with accepting she was forgiven.
However my mentor believed this was the result of being a babe in Christ, and kept encouraging her to realize she was a new creation.
But something in this young believers mind took a turn for the worse, she just believed that Jesus wouldn't forgive her until she suffered like him.
So she walked into her kitchen to a pot of boiling water on the stove, and held her hand under until it burnt.
To this day my old mentor didn't understand why she did that.
And, neither do I.
Do you?
