As we try to comprehend what we did to Christ and what Christ did for us on the Cross, what is most incomprehensible is how He could still love us. What is beyond our understanding in intellectual terms is how Christ forgives us for what we did to Him. If anyone on earth could have a reason to hold a grudge, Christ would be the person to hold the grudge. However, Christ does not hold a grudge or seek revenge. Instead, Christ forgives us and wants us to forgive others. Forgiving others can heal our soul and spirit. Forgiving others can release us from the emotional prison of seeking to get even. The act of forgiveness erases the hurt inflicted upon us. There is no healing energy like forgiveness. There is no energy to restore us to complete lifelike forgiveness. In the future, there will be a day and time when we stand before Christ. When we stand before Christ we will fully understand what we did to Him. When we see Christ in person, we will fully experience His forgiving love. He will ask you if you forgive others as He has forgiven you…and what will your answer be?
