Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
Please take time to listen to this story it is just over 3 minutes, and it is amazing. http://www.npr.org/2011/05/20/136463363/forgiving-her-sons-killer-not-an-easy-thing . I first heard this story while driving with my wife one day; we were both floored when you hear of the challenges these two people had to overcome to love one another. Jesus said “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you” Matthew 6:14
It is so amazing to realize that things like this still go on in a world of hurt, pain, and suffering. Hopefully Christians can learn something from this; too many times we get so offended over something small we don’t talk to people for years. Christ has forgiven us so we must return this compassion to other people.
Luke 6:37 Jesus said “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
