Many People to Forgive

God loves you and has chosen you as his own special people. So  be gentle, kind, humble, meek and patient.  Put up with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you.  Love is more important than anything else.  It is what ties everything completely together.  Each one of you is part of the body of Christ, and you were chosen to live together in peace.  So let the peace that comes from Christ control your thoughts.  And be grateful.

Colossians 3:12-15

The goal of every Christian should be, that he or she will become more like Jesus every day.  So don't be surprised when Holy Spirit leads you into situations where you are mistreated and wronged just like Jesus!

As a Christ follower, you will have many people to forgive.  And the wrongs against you may be very serious, but every time you forgive someone who sins against you, you are taking another step toward being "like Christ."

It may indeed be that is why sin is allowed to continue on planet earth in the days before the return of Jesus.  Our course of instruction in how to be like Jesus must include: "Forgiveness when you are wronged!"

In your quest to be like Jesus don't forget the "Take up your cross and follow me" study!  It is all designed to continue to make you into the image of Jesus Himself!

"Thank You Jesus for allowing me to experience being wronged like You were.  And thank You for giving me the opportunity to forgive those who sinned against me.  Praise Your Holy and Righteous Name, now and forever.  Amen."
