Forgiveness for you and others

Jesus was the example for first fruits and the sacrifice that he made personally paved the way for our ability to have a relationship with the Father. 

When he died the thing that separated us from God no longer existed. 

Now for us to take advantage of that, we have to step into the place where God is. We have to want to be with him. 

In the parable in Matthew of the unjust servant Jesus explains about complete forgiveness.  And that when we have been forgiven we must also forgive others this in turn keeps our debt from coming back upon us. 

When the unjust servant didn't forgive the small amount that was owed to him the master gave him over to the torturers.  

How many people are in this world that have gone through the process of salvation but forgiveness did not make it to their heart and therefore they have been stuck in this place of being tortured by the things that they have not let go of in their life and not allowed forgiveness to have a complete work in them. 

They probably have come to the point of if this is being saved it's not worth it because before they were just in debt to the sin that they had done now the enemy is literally torturing them in their existence. 

We have the gospel, the feast of unleavened bread and that experience has produced God forgiving us as we have confessed our sin and he's cleansed us.  Now he's calling us to bring that good news to others as we extend forgiveness to others and show them the life-changing experience that they too can truly be saved. 

How do you see forgiveness differently this year?

How did the confession of sin cause you to feel inside?

What is your moment where the word came alive to you in this experience of forgiveness?
