What
is Forgiveness? Words can paint a picture As pretty as can be But words of forgiveness are special words That must be said in all sincerity. “Forgive us our debts As we have forgiven Our debtors,” Matthew 6:12 Is where that verse is in. In this verse, Can you see? That God wants us to forgive others As He has forgiven you, and me. Here is another one: Peter has come to Jesus and asks this question: “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my Brother, when it is against me that he sins?” Peter adds to his Lord, “Up to seven times?” Well, that sounded like a good number to him. Do you remember how Jesus answered Peter? How did His voice sound, I wonder, quiet, wise, perhaps a little grim? “I tell you the truth,” Jesus says to His friend. “Not seven times alone, But 77 times your forgiveness you must extend.” So what is forgiveness? I ask myself this question. Where can I find the answer? Alas, the key is already in my possession. The Holy Bible, God’s Word given to us, Should help us understand The question we discuss. Forgiveness is love And love keeps no record of wrongs Love is always forgiving. Hate, fear, and sin do not belong. We must bless the one that harms us. Do good in the face of bad. Since we are all in need of forgiveness from God, We need to be willing to forgive, and not be mad. What have we learned today? Words can paint a picture, as pretty as can be But words of forgiveness are special words That must be said in all sincerity. So please, my friend. If there is someone who has wronged you, Please, your forgiveness will you extend?
