Daily Devo | "As We Have Forgiven" (Practicing the Way, Matthew 6:9-15)

The prayer for forgiveness serves as the dramatic climax to the Lord's prayer. We are to pray for forgiveness, as we might expect, but then we are to pray for something unexpected... and dangerous. We are to pray that God would forgive us "as we have forgiven" others. What is Jesus saying? Does God's grace have a limit?

For Reflection:

Forgiveness is not optional for followers of Jesus. Instead, forgiving others is the key to unlocking our own experience of God's forgiveness.

- Why might our own forgiveness be limited by the forgiveness we extend to others?

- Jesus does not tell us to forgive because others somehow deserve forgiveness. Instead, we are to forgive because we have been forgiven. Take some time with God to consider and thank Jesus for the forgiveness you have received.
