Looking ahead at next week's Primary lesson, I saw that the title of the lesson is "Joseph Smith is Tarred and Feathered," and the purpose of teaching that little history lesson to eight and nine years olds is "to help each child desire to develop a forgiving attitude."
That is a lot of forgiveness, but I know Someone who has an even more forgiving attitude, Someone who even forgave the people who were torturing Him to death while they were doing it.
Don't get me wrong; Joseph Smith is an excellent example of forgiveness. But Jesus is a better one. Which is fortunate for us, since if Jesus wasn't so forgiving, pretty much all of us would be doomed. We all rely on the Savior's mercy and forgiveness. Thank goodness He's the most forgiving person who ever lived.
