FORGIVING

August 6th, 2009 FORGIVING

Today’s morning watch is taken from:

Matthew 6:12 Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us.
Matius 6:12 Ampunilah kami dari kesalahan kami, seperti kami sudah mengampuni orang yang bersalah kepada kami.
When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he made forgiveness the cornerstone of their relationship with God. God has forgiven our sins; we must now forgive those who have wronged us. To remain unforgiving shows we have not understood that we ourselves deeply need to be forgiven. Think of some people who have wronged you. Have you forgiven them? How will God deal with you if he treats you as you treat others?

Ketika Yesus mengajar murid-muridNya berdoa, Dia memberi pengampunan mendasari hubungan mereka dengan Allah. Allah telah mengampuni segala dosa kita; kita seharusnya mengampuni orang yang berbuat salah kepada kita. Meninggalkan sisa-sia tidak mengampuni menunjukkan bahwa kita belum mengerti bahwa kita sendiri memang sangat memerlukan pengampunan. Coba pikirkan kepada orang yang telah bersalah kepadamu. Sudahkah engkau mengampuni mereka? Betapa Allah akan memperlakukan engkau jika Dia memperlakukan engkau sebagaimana yang engkau memperlakukan orang lain.
