“Forgiving
one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” Eph. 4:32 NKJV
What immense treasures we find in the jewel
bag of God’s grace. The incalculable
value of His grace will continually amaze us.
Life, the wealth of peace and joy, spring from the promises He makes and
the gifts He offers. Forgiving others is
one of them. It is not a natural thing
to do. It is a God enabled thing. His grace makes it possible.
Consider all the wars fought and the blood
feuds that have raged all because forgiveness is not in the heart of man. Think of the lives lost and the millions of
dollars expended because an offence cannot be forgiven. All of that is our just debt to God for our
sin, but He has forgiven it in Christ.
He paid the priceless gift of His blood to forgive us and to empower us
to forgive others. How often we lose the
joy of life and the value of living because we do not forgive. Christ has forgiven us and we in turn can, by
His grace, forgive others and find the true wealth of fulfilled joy in Him.
Precious
Father, Help us to forgive those who sin against us as You have forgiven
us. Amen.
The
Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
