Life of forgiveness

Matthew 18:21-35


Azariah prays to the Lord to deliver them from the fiery furnace using the mercy of God.

In the gospel, Jesus gives an invaluable lesson on forgiveness - that as God forgives, so too must we forgive in the same measure.

What can we learn from forgiveness as a way of life?

1. Forgiveness gives importance to the salvation rather than the condemnation of the other.
2. Forgiveness establishes who we are before God. - that we are mere human beings who have no power except that which comes from God who forgives us almost endlessly.
3.  Forgiveness strengthens our mission to do what we need to do in this world - to reconcile others to one another and to Christ.
