Good morning.
Today we are able to join with fellow followers of Christ to worship our supreme, majestic sovereign king, Jesus Christ. But first, hesr what Jesus had to say.
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift." (Matthew 5:23-24)
In response to Peter's question on how many times we should forgive, Jesus replied seventy times seven. (Matthew 18:22) Jesus proceeded to tell the parable of the unmerciful servant who ultimately was imprisoned. Jesus ends off the parable by saying: “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” (v35)
God puts a high priority on forgiveness. Unforgiveness affects our ability to worship God. Jesus says that what happens in our relationships with people affects our relationship with God.
With this in mind, let's make a concerted effort to sort out our relationships with others sothat we can come into His presence and worship God in Spirit and truth.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
