24 hours: Bitter Days

24 hours: Bitter Days by ric gustafson


Jesus wants us to give every day a chance. Have you had a day with broken promises, wounds and rejections?. In Matthew 18, Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive someone. He said seven, Jesus replied seventy times seven. Then Jesus tells a story about a servant who owed a king a lot of money. He should have been sold to pay off the massive debt but instead the king released him and forgave the debt. Then the servant went out and threatened a fellow servant who owed him a little bit of money.
In order to get rid of bitterness in our lives, we need to forgive. We need to forgive those who have wronged us. Jesus does not want us to have guilt, or bad habits. He wants us to face fears with courage and know the difference between right and wrong.
God wants to make us into the image of his Son, Jesus.
