Text for the Day -- Luke 17:1-4
----------
Jesus said to his disciples, "Occasions for stumbling are bound to
come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! It would be better for you
if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into
the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. Be
on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the
offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. And if the
same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you
seven times and says, 'I repent,' you must forgive."
Devotional
----------
Jesus' teaching about forgiveness is at the heart of kingdom living.
If God's reign is to come into our lives, it will come through the
power of forgiving love. Redemption and reconciliation are the goals
of God's kingdom. This is true in our own lives, but also true in our
witness to others.
Prayer
----------------
Through your Spirit, Lord, help me experience the deep power of
forgiving love. Amen
