What is your opinion? was the trick question the Pharisees asked Jesus in their attempt to
trap him into saying something controversial. Jesus outsmarted them as he tried to get the rule
makers and scorekeepers to see the bigger picture of Gods generous mercy. In families and
on Facebook we would do well to invite one another to think and reason together rather than
stirring up arguments with loaded opinions. Developing the virtues of understanding and
empathy develop conscience and the ability to follow the Lord from our heart much better than
stirring up controversy and keeping score.
