ESS InMTMtwW Un:l«n» ■: VI 'J If ai: B4M X-l :i Baeksmna Sorlßtart: Matthew 18-20. Develleaal ReaOlnt; Isaiah 55:8-0, Seventy X Seven Lessen fer March It, 1957 IS IT a mark of high breeding never to forget an injury? One of the most famous Americans was known also as a duelist. When he left home as a boy, his mother wrote him a letter which contained some Christian advice; but she mixed with it an idea she could not have found in her New

Testament; he must never overlook an insult or a slight. It is rather strange how many Christian s (Christians otherwise, that is,) have had the same notion. Long after duel-

ing was outlawed in most states, it was still going on in the “Bible Belt.” It has gone out there too by now; which may be an indication that people understand the Gospel better than they once did. The Need fer Forgiveness •-» Tn a southern town there lives a man who was in a penitentiary in another state, for 19 years, for a crime he did not commit. He was a stranger and he had a gun: so when the local hoodlums all came up with alibis, this man was a convenient mark, and to the penitentiary he went. And there he stayed even after the real criminal confessed. Authorities kept him there, because if the facts became known, and the man released, some important reputations and careers would be ruined. Finally, through the efforts of a sister and a friend, he was released, 19 years not guilty, but punished all the same, even years after his innocence was estab- ■_ lished. Would you be in a forgiving mood after that? Not many people have tremendous, long-last-ing injustices done to them of that sort; yet the story illustrates one point about forgiveness: it is not always a matter of forgiving persons directly. One may suffer severely, unjustly, without its being possible to identify the persons who are responsible for things we suffer (such as unfair i laws, or customs which harm 'us in some way); but although iwe cannot forgive the responsible 'persons—who may be many—face ito face, it is just as un-Chris-'tian to harbor bitterness in the heart against “fate” in general as it is to feel bitterly about some one we know. Bod His More to Put Up Wifi I When Peter asked his question about forgiveness, he was thinking, it seems, of a kind of rule. Forgive a man once, twice . . . to seven times; but the eighth time is one too much? Jesus' reply,—that if a brother .repents 70 times seven times, we are to forgive him just as many times,—is not a matter of strict arithmetic. It ts not intended as a rule. It is Jesus way of saying: Forgiveness must be without limit. The reason Jesus suggests, in his parable, goes to the heart of things. God has far more to forgive than we have. Even an apostle, Jesus suggests, has sinned against God more than any man has ever sinned against him. What we have to put up with from others, every day, are trifles compared with what God has to put up with from us. If the reader thinks this is an exaggeration, let him consider one point: the way we Christians misrepresent God. His reputation in this world is maintained or blackened by those who profess to be his people. We claim to be his children, and yet we often act as if vye had been sired by the devil. Few if any ‘human beings have been so persistently slandered as God is by his professed friends. Forgiving From the Hoort Forgiveness has been called a Action, and in away it is. It is not the same as ignoring or condoning, but it treats the offender exactly as if no offense had been committed. That may be Action’; but there is no true for? giveness without forgetting. God’s forgiveness is complete: he casts forgiven sins “behind his back”— he “remembers them no more.” Human forgiveness like all things human is never complete, for in spite of our best efforts the thing will keep coming back to mind. Nevertheless, true Christian forgiveness makes every effort to forget. Forgiving without forgetting leaves things much "as they were. Only in complete forgiveness can there be a complete new start. Erasing the whole thing from mind, living as if it never had happened; this may be a fiction but it is a fiction of love.
