As We Forgive Those Who Trespass Against Us

April 9, 2025

Someone sent me a link the other day about a father whose son was killed by a fellow classmate at a school track meet. It was a very sad story. There was, however, a ray of hope; a true sign of grace. The father, when asked about what happened, said that he already forgave the murderer. He admitted it was hard to understand why this had happened, but that he trusted God was at work somehow and he acknowledged that forgiveness is necessary. What a wonderful example to show the world. Because Christ has forgiven us, we can forgive others who wrong us; even when those wrongs are horrible. Who do you need to forgive?
