Jesus On Forgiveness: Words Of Mercy From The Son Of God
Ebooks Online

The act of forgiveness is not something that comes easily to most of us. Too often we become angry or judgmental instead of forgiving others. It can be difficult to remember we have all made mistakes or done things we regret, and we would want to be forgiven in turn. Alexander Pope famously wrote, “To err is human; to forgive, divine.” It is that divinity that Jesus Christ embodies and to which so many aspire. Jesus’s message is one of forgiving anyone, and he lived by that same principle, providing an example to all.Jesus on Forgiveness contains quotes and wisdom from the teachings and ministrations of Jesus Christ as he communed with the people around him, stressing the need for sincere graciousness and letting go of the desire for revenge. His gentle words encouraging a spirit of forgiveness toward even those who have done us the most harm can inspire and touch people of any faith, Christian or otherwise.“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’” (Matthew 18:21–22)

Very disapointed. Very short introduction in which the author identifies himself as Catholic. 75 verses follow using the King James version, which is not the translation used by Catholics. The author offers no reflection on the verses, no insight to help the reader understand forgiveness. Any study Bible would be more useful

This is simply a collection of Bible verses printed onto many pages; no comments, no explanations. If I were a serious student of the Bible, I could look most of these up in a Concordance and find them under the topic of "forgiveness". I would then check other sources for meaning and application - none of which is offered here. This took very little literary effort to compile. Very disappointed. Was hoping to glean another man's sincere thought, understanding, guidance and wisdom on the subject.

A collection of bible passages somewhat related to the topic of forgiveness, which were randomly assembled. I kept waiting for something the author had to say.
