That was cool of Calvin

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Luke 6:36
What did Calvin do upon his return to Geneva during the Reformation? (He had been exilded by the city 3 years before-but now they wanted him back).
Upon taking his place behind the pulpit after his return, the congregation was braced for a slur of anthemas against themselves. But instead Calvin opened his Bible and continued preaching from the verse he had last preached from during his last sermon before his exile...That was cool of Calvin.....
