Forgiveness

On the cross as He was dying an agonizing death the Lord Jesus spoke these words,

“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”  (Luke 23:34)

                                                                                       

The Bible says in Ephesians 4:32, “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

                                                                                      

The late Ruth Graham, wife of evangelist Billy Graham, said that a successful marriage must be made up of two good forgivers.

                                                                                       

To fail to forgive others of real or imagined wrongs against us is to burn the bridge over which we must travel.
