Ephesians 4:30-32
“30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye
are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and
clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”
O how we often
forget the mercy and grace God has shown towards us in this life. The example
Jesus gave in His earthly ministry and as He hung on the tree.
Forgiveness can
be a hard thing for many of us at times. The greatest example of forgiveness
was when Jesus suffered and died for the sins of His people. He was totally
innocent of any crime or sin yet He bore every sin His people would ever
commit. By all rights we deserved death and hell but, praise God that was not
His will!!!
How much and how
often are we willing to forgive our brothers and sisters in Christ? How can we
live with the thought of ill will toward others and claim the name of Christ?
Forgiveness can be a hard thing, but should it be?
Praise ye the
Lord!!!
