Subject: Fwd: FW: forgive them!

< One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at
< < her heart.
< < She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and
< < Savior.
< The
< < young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and
< < prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. As time went on
< < she
< became
< <
< < a faithful member of the church. She eventually became involved in
< < the ministry, teaching young children. It was not very long until
< < this
< faithful
< < young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The
< < relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is
< < when the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did
< < not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a
< < pastor's son.The church began to argue and fight about the matter.
< < So they decided to have a meeting. As the people made their
< < arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely
< < out of hand. The young woman became very upset about
< all
< < the things being brought up about her past. As she began to cry the
< < pastor's son stood to speak. He could not bear the pain it was
< < causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was
< < this:
< <
< < " My fianc,'s past is not what is on trial here. What you are
< < questioning
< is
< <
< < the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have
< < put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?"
< < The whole
< church
< <
< < began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the
< < blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as Christians, we
< < bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and
< < sisters. Forgiveness is a
< very
< < foundational part of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. If the
< < blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it
< < cannot cleanse
< us
< <
< < completely. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of
< < trouble.
< <
< < What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus....end of
< case!!!
< <
< < Pass this on to everyone that you truly care for. We all need this
< < message.... God Forgives.. So Should We.
