Hi Blogger,
George Osborne is expected to tell the country today how the government proposes to cut the deficit fast and deep to avoid a decade of debt.
We all know the basic but difficult rule of financial credit - that the longer you pay the more you pay. It seems that we find it equally hard to apply this rule in our relationships. Forgiving each other "fast and deep" relieves us from a life of debt with each other.
God understands this principle supremely. Forgiving us He took decisive action and cleared our debt not over a decade, not over a year but in one painful act.
1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit..."
Lord Jesus Christ, I find your act of forgiveness both challenging and comforting at once. On the one hand I can't forgive like you do. I find myself unable to carry the cost necessary to forgive as completely as you do. But on the other hand I get great comfort from knowing that you have forgiven me at immense cost to yourself. Help me to view myself as someone that has been forgiven much... and help me to extend this to others. Amen.
