KRISTINA
Good morning! My name is Kristina Crabtree and I am the Minister of Spiritual
Formation at Central United Methodist Church. Let us look at one theme that is
seen throughout scripture: Forgiveness. Forgiveness is seen over and over again,
especially in the New Testament. In Acts 3:19 it says, “Repent, then, and turn to
God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from
the Lord.”
In this act of forgiveness, we are mere participants of the work of God but we
still have somewhat control. “I Forgive You” is what is stated. We first have to
become vulnerable in our sin to say that we are sorry, which takes a lot of guts.
John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus by saying Repent, Jesus reiterated
repent in his ministry, and the disciples in the book of Acts proclaimed the same
message of Jesus, Repent.
Maybe you need to ask forgiveness or need to forgive someone today. Let
Forgiveness be a part of today so that the “refreshing” sprit of the Lord can come
upon you once again today!
