What an awesome day to read. There are some big truths here. Things that we need to get in us so we can get to work. Forgiveness is hard to do. Well when it is a big thing you are forgiving it is hard. The little things, like leaving the seat up on the potty, those are easy. But the biggies are tough. I thought today's section was awesome. It showed me that even if there isn't something right now that we should be forgiving that our lives should model a constant revolving door of forgiveness. I could re-write the whole thing on here easy, but instead here are some great lines:
Aside from geography and chronology, our story is the same as the
disciples'. We weren't in Jerusalem, and we weren't alive that
night. But what Jesus did for them he has done for us. He has
cleansed us. He has cleansed our hearts from sin.The cleansing is not a promise for the future but a reality in the present.
Those in the circle of Christ had no doubt of his love, those in our circle should have no doubt of ours.
Relationships don't thrive because the guilty are punished but because the innocent are merciful.
