Unreserved Grace to forgive - 28:02:2019, 16.48

Unreserved Grace to forgive (Genesis 45:3-11) calls us to the task of loving our enemies, yet such goodness is not easy to covet. The story of Joseph is a prime example then and now, his story begins in Genesis chapter thirty-seven when his own brothers, those he loved and should love him back sold him into slavery in Egypt for profit and it ended in chapter fifty, when he died. In Egypt Joseph was wrongfully accused and imprisoned, he was recognised in prison, forgotten in prison and subsequently release and elevated to a very prominent position in the country. Providence brought him face to face with his conspirators, in fact his brotherly enemies, those who wished him dead, those who sold him off and performed his funeral. What will you do and what will be your reaction if you were to be confronted with the reality such as this? Jesus Christ in (Luke 6:27-38) invites us into an entirely different appraisal of ourselves and to imagine a new possibility of Christian living by loving our enemies.
