Freedom and Suffering, Part 2: Freedom and Grace, 1959 November 15

Description

In this second sermon in the Freedom and Suffering series, Thurman adds grace into his discussion on freedom and failure. Human beings have the freedom to fail again and again, however we never fail totally and absolutely. In this there is grace. For Thurman, grace is our experience of something dealing with us beyond balance and beyond merit; it is an unexplainable outpouring that sustains, redeems, and reassures us. Grace is found in God who does not give up on us, who sees us beyond the surface for our infinite worth. Even amongst failure, grace tips the balance scale in our favor.
