Week 33 Overview: Offering forgiveness to others is one of the most difficult and important aspects of the Christian life. The Bible clearly commands us to forgive others. God longs to fashion us into his likeness that we might model the love we've been shown to a world with no concept of mercy. He longs for us to offer grace and forgiveness to the undeserving as we have been offered grace and forgiveness when we were undeserving. May you be filled with courage and boldness to offer forgiveness to those in desperate need of grace. And may God's love shine through as you enter into your calling as a minister of reconciliation. Scripture:"Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil." Ephesians 4:26-27 Devotional: Ephesians 4:26-27 offers revelation on an important and often unknown spiritual principle. Scripture says, "Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil." When we allow anger to fester within us for days, weeks, months, and sometimes years, we allow the enemy to gain a foothold in our lives that robs us of the abundant life provided in Christ. In Ephesians, Paul is clear that anger in itself is not a sin; it's when we allow anger to remain instead of choosing grace and forgiveness that we break God's command. |
