Topic : Forgiveness from Cross
Bible Verse: Luke:23:34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
Message: Bible says the blood of Jesus pleads for our forgiveness (Heb:12:24) Firstly, we should know the cost of this forgiveness; When we were still sinners Christ Jesus died for us (Rom:5:6-8). Jesus bore the pain, punishment & shame of our sins. We should be humbled in his forgiveness (Ezekiel:16:63). Secondly, those who understand this cost of forgiveness will willingly submit to God take up their cross and follow Him (PS:116:12). The forgiveness of Christ is filled with love & the more we understand our sins are forgiven we serve him more (Luke:7:47). Finally we have to forgive others just like Jesus forgave us (Eph:4:32). Stephen forgave people who were killing him by throwing stones (Acts:7:54-60). When you forgive you display the love of Jesus (1Jhn:3:10) God bless you.
Prayer: Dear Lord help us to know the cost of forgiveness & serve you also forgive others. Continue to speak with us in Jesus name Amen
