Before Asking For Forgiveness

Before Asking For Forgiveness

As Jesus continued teaching the disciples to pray In Matthew 6:12 he said, "and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." Forgiveness is central to the Gospel. Jesus died for us so that we could be forgiven. It is fascinating that Jesus doesn't just tell people to simply ask for forgiveness and move on. He implies here that we must first show forgiveness to others.
