The centrality of open-mindedness, perhaps the last of the attributes the teacher of God requires, is easily understood when its relation to forgiveness is recognized. Open-mindedness comes with lack of judgement. As judgement shuts the mind against God's Teacher, so open-mindedness invites him to come in. As condemnation judges the Son of God as evil, so open-mindedness permits him to be judged by the Voice for God on his behalf. As the projection of guilt upon him would send him to hell, so open-mindedness lets Christ's image be extended to him. Only the open-minded can be at peace, for they alone see reason for it.
