I found excerpts from an interview with U2 rocker, Bono on a couple of different blogs today while I was surfing. The full interview appears in a new book, Bono in Conversation, by journalist Michka Assayas. Despite what you may think of Bono, his insights on grace vs. karma are very good. For example, he says: "I’d be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I’d be in deep sh**. It doesn’t excuse my mistakes, but I’m holding out for Grace. I’m holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don’t have to depend on my own religiosity....The point of the death of Christ is that Christ took on the sins of the world, so that what we put out did not come back to us, and that our sinful nature does not reap the obvious death. That’s the point. It should keep us humbled… It’s not our owngood works that get us through the gates of Heaven."
Amen to that. I think we would all be in "deep sh**" if it weren't for God's amazing grace.
