Something that struck me

Last night I watched a few moments of a programme in which Desmond Tutu (and others) were hosting a reconciliation process between former IRA members and the families/friends of those who they had killed / injured.

At one point, an IRA member had been justifying why he had done what he had, and denied any feelings of guilt or remorse. Then, smiling compassionately, Desmond Tutu asked him if he felt he would be able to look God in the eye and say "this is OK". " Of course not", was part of the answer.

What an astounding question to hold to all our conduct and decisions in life.

Could we look God in the eye and say "this is OK"?
