Helping You Grow Your Faith

Before Jesus death, Peter had really messed up. He found himself in a place where he could only regret his behavior. And in today’s reading he gets a chance to redeem himself.

It’s an unusual story because of course Jesus was dead. Peter thought this chance would never happen. But Jesus is alive! And one of the first things Jesus does is to remedy the situation with Peter. Notice Jesus initiates this. It’s a wonderful moment.

In our own lives there are going to be similar situations. Some of them we cannot change this side of heaven. But some of them we can change today. May we have the courage to find healing in those places! It is after all Jesus way

This weeks gospel message

Give up Holding on to Pain

Forgiveness is today’s topic. For some of us that word causes us some anxiety. We want to forgive others, but we find excuses for our lack of living it out. This is a complicated topic. And we know at some level that forgiveness is really the way to freedom. Jesus sets the stage with a parable. We meet a King who is beyond gracious to a slave. And then that same slave is beyond stingy with his own grace and mercy toward another slave. He has no grace. Jesus uses inequality to make a dramatic point. The point is this. Can we forgive as God has forgiven us? The benefit of forgiveness is freedom in life. If we forgive, we move on and live in freedom. We lose the pain, the anger, the bitterness and our hearts can be opened up again. I encourage you to always move toward forgiveness. Take that road because it will lead to the places you want to go.
