CHRIsT-LIKE FORGIVENESS.
We know that
ITO err is human; to forgive Divine"
We know that Jesus said we should forgive
not only seven times, but seventy times seven.
We know that when dying the cross he
sent up prayer for his prosecutors:
Father, forgive them, for they know not
! what they do"
But we have heard and read these things so
often that they fail TO impress themselves in
fullest meaning upon our minds. Old truths
! sometimes need to be presented ia new form
| in order to fix our attention and thus enable
Us TO grasp them. A gentleman who heard
| Mr.. Moody. the evangelist. pleading Divine for
giveness says his audience sat breathlcss while
! he pressed home the truth 20 their hearts in
the following:
Il can imagine" said Mr.. Moody, "when
Christ said to the little band around Him,
| Go re into all the world and preach the gospel
TO every creature Peter said, Lord, do you
really mean that we TO go back TO Jeru-
salem aud preach the gospel to those men that
murdered you2' Yes said Christ. go. hunt
! up that man that spat in my face; tell him he
may have a scat in my kingdom yet Yes,
! Peter. 70 find that man that made that cruel
crown of thorns and placed it on my brow,
and tell him ] will have crown ready for
him when he comes into my kingdom. and
/ there will be no thorns in il. Hunt mp that
man that took a reed and brought il down
over the cruel thorns, driving them into my
brow, aud tell him / will put scepter in his
hand, and he shall rule over the nations of the
earth, if he will accept salvation. Search for
the man that drove the spear into nay side,
and tell him there is a nearer way 10 my
heart than that Tell him / forgive him
freely, and that he can be saved il he will
accent salvation as a gift"
