BIBLE VERSE: Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, until seventy times seven
BIBLE THOUGHT: Jesus had been asked in the previous verse, How many times should I forgive my brother….7 times? when Jesus said to him No 70 times 7, He did not mean 490 times, but, rather as much as it takes. It is so difficult for us to forgive sometimes, especially when we have been wronged. Jesus tells us to forgive one another (Ephesians 4:32) and we say NO Way! When we do not forgive then we hold a grudge, and if we hold a grudge then we are condemned. (James 5:9) The old addage: “Forgive and Forget” simply is not true. Every time we have been wronged or offended it sticks to us like a feather to a tar bucket. FORGIVING is not FORGETTING but REMEMBERING that we forgave!
DAILY THOUGHT: Has Jesus forgiven you?….Then pass it on!
