About showing God's forgiveness Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. (NIV) As we try to comprehend what Christ did for us on the Cross, what is most incomprehensible is how He could still love us. What is beyond our understanding in intellectual terms is that Christ forgives us for what we did. If anyone on earth could have a reason to hold a grudge, it is Christ. However, Christ does not hold a grudge or seek revenge. Instead, Christ forgives us and wants us to forgive others. It is in forgiving others we come to totally heal our soul and spirit. It is in forgiving others we release ourselves from the emotional prison of seeking to get even. It is the act of forgiveness that erases the hurt inflicted upon us. There is no other healing energy like forgiveness. There is no other energy that restores us to a full and complete life like forgiveness. What we must realize is there is a day and time when we will be before Christ and we will fully understand what we did to Him. In that moment when we fully experience His forgiving love, He will ask us if we forgave others as He has forgiven us and what will your answer be? |
