Jesus did not brood on his injuries or nurse resentments or wait for apologies. He reached out and forgave those friends of his, those ordinary members of the embryonic church. He gave Peter three opportunities to annul the previous three denials. It is often said that if you forgive a person you forget . You cannot wipe out the memory, you can refuse to let that memory sour you.
Love is forgiving, it allows the other person to move on.
Jesus suggested we forgive 70 x 7. In our era, self sacrifice is low on the ratings. Self gratification and to hell with everyone else. Far too many congregations are not prepared to sacrifice their familiar comfort zone in the cause of true love. Something simple like changing service times or changing pews for chairs can highlight our unwillingness to sacrifice.
