Devot. The Cross: The Symbol of Forgiveness

Dear Friends,

I hope you had a good week!
We are back on the topic of the Cross of Christ. This week we will focus on how the Cross is a symbol of forgiveness-Christ's forgiveness of mankind's sin. But we can apply this to our lives-  how we can forgive even the most painful of wrongs through the power of the Cross.

There is a true story that my mom has reminded me of many times through the years when I didn't think I could forgive someone.
The lady in the story is Ms. Corrie ten Boom, whom I mentioned last month during Holocaust Remembrance Day.  She survived a concentration camp and when she was freed, God called her to share her story around the world.  

I have included a link that shares the story of how she was confronted with the struggle to forgive and the power of Jesus to help her.  It's powerful and I prayerfully hope it will stick in your mind as it has mine.

Lord bless and keep you and yours this weekend!
