One of the ways Mrs Dalia and I like to wind down is watching an episode of Monk. Monk, in case you haven't watched the show, is about a brilliant detective who has some excessive compulsive issues and a great deal of phobias. In one episode he was framed for murder and after being arrested escaped during transport in order to solve his own case. Having planned it beforehand the police captain, a very dear friend of his, had to shoot him in front of other police officers and friends in order for him to believe that he was dead. While the plan worked Monks co-workers and friends looked down of the captain because of what he did. At one point he was thrown out of a fellow friends house because of it. I will never forget the look on his face. He knew he was innocent but was treated as if guilty. As I watched the episode I couldn't help but think of Jesus. He was absolutely innocent yet for the sake of sinners He died on a cross between two thieves. This was scandalous in the eyes of all who saw it but the reality was it was the grace of God poured out. According to vocabulary.com the adjective scandalous can refer to something morally offensive, or even illegal, although it's used often simply to mean "shocking". This is why the band Unspoken wrote in their song... ♪ It's nothing less than scandalous This love that took our place Just call it what it is Call it grace ♪
