‘Forgive as the Lord Forgave You’

man and woman hugging and forgiving each other.

Reflect

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (Col 3:13). Reconciliation is at the heart of our Christian faith. Christ’s self-sacrifice paved the way for our salvation. As believers we must follow in his steps.


Pray

Christ,
for my sake
you bore the weight of sin.
By your death
you reconciled the world to yourself.
By your Spirit
I am made one
with you and your people.
May that same Spirit
heal any divisions in my heart,
so your body on earth
may be whole.
Amen.


Act

Are you holding a grudge against someone? Is there someone you haven’t spoken to in a while because of a past hurt? Make an attempt to reach out to that person. Pray that the Spirit that conquers sin and death may show you the way of reconciliation.
