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?
