Forgiving as God's People Lesson Text: Matthew 5:17-26 The Sermon on the Mount created a setting for Jesus to emphasize the danger of unforgiveness. As followers, we must remember to avoid the temptation of unresolved conflicts, which can poison the lives of many. Thought to remember: As people of God, living in harmony with others is important. Lesson Learned: I must remember the power of forgiveness will promote connection at two different levels: 1) my connection with God (heavenly) and 2) my connection with others (earthy). In addition, the joy of forgiveness promotes inner peace, while the peace of forgiveness creates joy leading to the true cycle of living in harmony. My Prayer: Dearest Heavenly Father, help us to become what You desire. Guide our tongues and our minds to be on one accord with You. Thank You for caring for us and forgiving us as we reconcile ourselves to one another. Let us stay focused on You and in Your Word. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen! Follow the Teaching and Learning COGIC
