Love and Forgiveness

Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.  Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” This lesson is easy to type and easy to read but very difficult for any of us to follow.  We all like to consider ourselves more righteous than the other guy, but when the truth is spoken, none of us would spend eternity in Heaven except for Jesus as our perfect advocate and making forgiveness happen.  We do well when we follow the example of our Great Teacher as expressed in the second of the two sentences above.
