PS-I do know that “bestest” is not a real word.

The Savior’s Resurrection assures all of us that someday we, too, will follow Him and experience our own resurrection. What peace, what comfort this great gift is which comes through the loving grace of Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind.

~Elder M. Russell Ballard, “The Atonement and the Value of One Soul,” Ensign, May 2004, 84

Each of us will have our own Fridays–those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays.

But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquereddeath–Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sundaywill come.

No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come. In this life or in the next, Sunday will come.

I testify to you that the Resurrection is not a fable. We have the personal testimonies of those who saw Him. Thousands in the Old and New Worlds witnessed the risen Savior. They felt the wounds in His hands, feet, and side. They shed tears of unrestrained joy as they embraced Him.”

~Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, “Sunday Will Come,” Ensign, Nov. 2006, 30

That said, I think that we need to forgive. The reason I came to this conclusion is that in my mind it proves the opposite of what his comments are supposedly saying. By forgiving rather than condemning, I think we can show that we are in very deed Christians. We read time and time again in the scriptures, “by their fruits ye shall know them,” well “fruits” are evidences or results, so wouldn’t it make sense that, as a faith we, the Mormons, would forgive and show Mr. Sharpton and the rest of the world that we are, by every sense of the word Christians.

My Two Cents: It is very hard for us to forgive, we yearn for justice or vengeance. However, as individuals, I believe we are destined and should be striving to rise above mere humans, forgiveness without repentance is a sign, or “fruit” that we are elevating ourselves above mere humanity. In other words, forgive him and move on, if his intentions are less than kind, the “fruits” will be seen, otherwise it is not our place to stand in judgment.
