When Judas, His (Jesus) betrayer, saw that He was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, “I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.” Matthew 27:3, 4
Lord, Judas was sorry for what he had done when he saw the results of his action.
Who of us reading this hasn’t felt that way at one time or another. Oh, it didn’t result in what resulted in Your life Lord, but none the less we were sorry for our words or actions.
Forgiveness is a wonderful gift. Most of the time it can’t make things right and we still suffer the consequences of our actions but we appreciate someone saying they ‘forgive’ us.
You forgive us Lord. You give us unconditional love.
You came and You died to free us and give us eternal life. Oh how we appreciate Your ‘forgiveness’ of all our shortcomings. We are free! We are forgiven!
Thank You! My heart is full of gratitude.
Thank You Lord.
