Hebrews 4:1-5, 11, Psalm 78:3-4, 6-8, Mark 2:1-12

70 X 7 (see Mt 18:22)
"When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralyzed man, 'My son, your
sins are forgiven.' " —Mark 2:5
When Jesus saw the roof being dismantled, He spoke of the forgiveness of
sins. When He saw paralysis, He thought of forgiveness. When He hung on
the cross, He said: "Father, forgive them" (Lk 23:34). Jesus clearly has
forgiveness on His mind.
If we have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16), we also will be preoccupied
with forgiveness. When we watch or read objectionable material, we will
pray: "Father, forgive us." When we feel sick, we'll go to Confession
before going to the doctor. When the phone rings, the word "forgiveness"
will be on the tip of our tongues.
How many times have you said the word "forgiveness" today? Since
forgiveness is the solution to our problems, we should be frequently
telling the good news that forgiveness is available to all through Jesus'
blood shed on Calvary. If we're not speaking of forgiveness, we're not
dealing with the heart of our problems but speaking only on a superficial
level.
Receive forgiveness; give forgiveness; proclaim forgiveness.
Prayer: Father, "forgive us the wrong we have done" (Mt 6:12).
Promise: "Let us strive to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall,
in imitation of the example of Israel's unbelief." —Heb 4:11
Praise: When tempted to be judgmental or unforgiving, Linda reminds
herself of her gravest sins that have been forgiven by the All-Holy One.
(For related teachings, order our booklet, "The Book on Forgiveness," and

"Unforgiveness "or AV 106A-1, AV 106A-3, AV 106B-1 on "Forgiveness".)
