The Power of the Cross: Truth #3

The cross grants me the power to forgive everyone. 
The cross is my source of forgiveness and it empowers me to forgive others. Consider Hebrews 9:22 – “Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.” But once the pure blood of Christ was shed, sins were forgiven and forgiveness was available to all who put their faith in Christ. Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you.” (New International Version) So just who can you forgive? You can forgive:

  • The lazy coworkers you see at the shop every day.
  • Your arrogant boss.
  • The people who cheat the government.
  • Your bad neighbors.
  • Your mean family members.
  • The people who cheat on their taxes.
  • Selfish people.
  • Murderers.
  • Child molesters.
  • And you can forgive yourself for your failings.
If you understand the magnificent power of the cross, there is no one outside the bandwidth of its forgiveness. Romans 5:19-21 teaches clearly that grace abounds far more than sin. Where sin abounded, grace exceeded its bounds and washed over it. There is no sin outside the grace of God. All sins can be covered by the grace of God. Hymn writer Julia Johnston says it best when she writes: Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, freely bestowed on all who believe…grace that is greater than all my sin.” Will you trust Him today? Will you acknowledge your sin and confess Jesus to be the one who can save you from your sins? Simply pray and ask Him to come in and to forgive your sins and acknowledge Him as your Lord.
