Marshall: the only way

    Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus
Meditation:
    For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
    —Matthew 6:14-15 (KJV)
Quotation:
    If the wounds of millions are to be healed, what other way is there except through forgiveness?
    Jesus, at least, leaves us no alternative. The command is stern. The terms are set: “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
    ... Catherine Marshall (1914-1983), Beyond Our Selves, New York: McGraw-Hill, 1961, p. 126 (see the book)
    See also Matt. 6:14-15; 7:2; 18:21-35; Mark 11:25; Eph. 4:32; Col. 3:13
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, show me whom I have not forgiven, that I may more fully obey You. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
