One of the hardest things God asks us to do is to love, forgive those who have hurt us. God commands us to be people of grace. Christians should be good forgivers. Let us not hold on to bitterness. We are both objects of wrath and wrathful people.

Grudges and forgiveness - two stages
* When we offer the offended forgiveness
* The person who did you harm repents and makes it right.

Matthew 18: 21 - 35
Jesus Christ humbled himself and came to Earth to do something about our sin. How can we say Thank you for that and then hold a grudge? 

We should freely forgive others and God has freely forgiven us. If we do not do this, God will be angry with us and punish us. We will reap the whirlwind. Forgviness given should be direct proportion to forgiveness received.
