...sorry to see it forbidden. There is one species of offside play, however, which we will all agree should be abolished, and that is interference with the ball while it is being put in play.

Jesus answers the question by action simply, working through faith in God the fullness of His mercy. The choir also sang, "Christian, the evening waits before thee...
