*Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.* Luke 23:34
If Jesus forgave those who nailed Him to the cross, and if God forgives you and me, how can you withhold your forgiveness from someone else? How can you withhold your forgiveness from yourself? If God says, “I forgive you,” then the only appropriate response is to say, “God, thank You. I don’t deserve it, but I accept it. And to express my gratitude, I, in turn, forgive that person who has sinned against me.”
We forgive others, not because they deserve it, but because Jesus deserves it. The only reason we have to forgive is that He commands us to, and our obedience gives us opportunity to say to Him, “Thank You for forgiving me. I love You.”
*Our forgiveness of others then becomes an act of worship that we would not enter into except for Who Jesus is and for the overwhelming debt of love we owe Jesus*
As you celebrate and remember the liberation Jesus brought to us by going to the cross, we have no moral right to hold up any grudge against anyone during and after this season.
Forgive your brother, as your Master has forgiven you ( Matthew 18:32-35)
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I come before you in the name of Jesus and i ask for grace to sincerely forgive all those who have hurt me in the past and even today. Please deliver me from hatred and bitterness and create in me a clean and loving heart in Jesus' name........ Amen🙏🏼
