Bear
with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against
someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Forgiving someone has times that it’s really
easy. For example, someone accidently
steps on your toe. They apologize and
ask for forgiveness. No problem, easy to
forgive. Other times, it really isn’t
that easy. Sometimes, it’s actually
almost impossible, or at least that’s how it feels.
I want you to think about a time that you did
something wrong. Something you knew you
shouldn’t have done. Maybe you struggled
with an addiction, maybe you cheated on someone, you may have even committed a
crime of some sort.
Did you ask forgiveness for what you did? Did the person you wronged easily forgive
you?
Each and every day, every single one of us
sins. Our sins nail Christ to the cross,
over and over and over again. While we might not have been there when Christ
was crucified, every single one of us is guilty of murdering him by our sins!
And yet, he has forgiven us! So then, we are instructed to forgive as the
Lord has forgiven us. If any of you are
holding a grievance against someone else, I encourage you today, to reach out
to them and truly forgive them.
