A Parable on Christianity
There was a school boy who learned early on how to succeed in school: get the right answers! He would raise his hand, answer test questions, and do homework always getting the right answers. As a result he did very well in school, until one day he met a teacher who did not care about the right answers. A math teacher, go figure. In fact the answers were provided for everyone in the back of the book, so answers had completely lost their value (as everybody had them). To the teacher what became important was not the answer, but the process of arriving at the answer. The process became everything.

You found eternal value in a common experience (math). The process is what
Jesus was after. It is not "get yourself to heaven" but how does the journey
should look? When process is involved we do not have to get it perfect
everytime... grace emerges. The righteousness of the man in proverbs is not
determined by his perfection,He got up just one more time than he fell. Not
so the fool Pr. 24:16. Wow, what grace! God allows us process...
