“Forgiving Others-Jack Blake”
Categories: Fellowship, ForgivenessGood Morning, Friends,
According to the scriptures, disciples are to forgive those who trespasses against them, we are to rebuke him and if he repents, forgive him. (Luke 17.3). But what if it is not a brother in Christ? Well, Jesus is our example, for while He was dying on the cross, He prayed for those who were responsible for His crucifixion, "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." And Jesus tells us, "When you pray, if you have anything against anyone forgive them, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses. (Mark 11.25). The disciple is to forbear one another, and forgive one another, if anyone has a quarrel against any; even as Christ forgave you, you must also do. (Colossians 3.13).
Father, we thank you for Your word on which we stand. Help us to forgive and forget things of the past, and remind us daily that we have risen to walk in a new life. Thank You for Jesus in whose name we pray. AMEN
