Forgive/Give ~ Luke 6

"Forgive, and you will be forgiven; Give, and it will be given to you..." ~ Luke 6:37-38

 

MEDITATION

“Do you know and experience the Mercy God has for you through the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for you and for your sins upon the cross? The Lord Jesus took our sins upon Himself and nailed them to the CROSS so that we could receive Pardon rather than condemnation, Freedom rather than slavery to sin, and Healing for the wounds caused by sin, injustice, and evil.”

 

Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) describes Jesus double precept to #give and #forgive as two essential wings of prayer:

 

"Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given you. These are the two wings of prayer on which it flies to God. Pardon the offender what has been committed, and give to the person in need." [Sermon 205.3]

 

"Let us graciously and fervently perform these two types of almsgiving, that is, GIVING and FORGIVING, for we in turn pray the Lord to give us things and not to repay our evil deeds." [Sermon 206.2]

 

PRAYER

"Lord Jesus, Your Love brings Freedom, Pardon, and Joy. Transform my Heart with Your LOVE that nothing may make me lose my temper, ruffle my Peace, take away my Joy, or make me bitter towards anyone."
