FORGIVING LOVE.
Forgiving love the expression of the Saviour,
Who bled and died upon the cross for thee;
He only saw lost sheep without a Shepherd,
oor wandering soul, His love!s forgiven thee"
We too #ust learn, that loving is forgiving,
Our heart!s out$poured, in love to every one;
This is the #essage %esus spo&e on 'alvary,
Father forgive, they &now not what they do"
To &now the (ord we #ust express His love )ivine,
For we!re reflecting His forgiving love;
Our hands extended, hearts attune to hear each cry,
*ach lonely heart, that needs the Saviours love"
What +oy, what peace, what ecstasy beyond co#pare,
Thy glory shared, with those who have a need,
*ach day, each hour, He softly spea&s within #y heart,e
still #y soul, The (ord He loveth thee"
This song which - wrote #any years ago, is on #y heart today as
- consider the
forgiving love of the Saviour, and the day our dear (ord
appeared to #e and spo&e,
saying; . /y daughter, - have re#oved your sins as far as the
*ast is fro# the West,
and - re#e#ber the# no #ore, so why are you re#e#bering01 rother

not even recall those sins
that others have co##itted against us, or spea& about the#,

lease understand that the above excerpt fro# %a#es is an
allegory only, We are
not advocating that this understanding of sin is for us today or
that the church elders
should be ta&en literally, but that this is how %a#es
understood it in his day"
-n realising our true identity as a child of >od, and being
in 'hrist %esus how canwe not do as He did, not only forgiving
those who had in the past sinned against us,
but forgetting what they did, and never #entioning, or even
writing about it, %esus
re#e#bers our past sins no #ore so we too should do so to each
other also" Thus we
carry no burden of sin, Hallelu+ah" When the High riest went
through the veil into
the Holy of Holies on the )ay of tone#ent, he too& the blood
of the sacrifice for his
own sins and the sins of the people, before the #ercy seat and
the r& of the
'ovenant" ?ow we &now the truth, and the truth has set us
free fro# all sin
consciousness"
On this third day awareness we have seen the need for ourselves
to enter in
beyond the veil, into the Holy of Holies of which the priest
acted out on the )ay of
tone#ent in the Old Testa#ent, which was a shadow and type of
what the (ord
gave us as a pattern for us to do in this day of >race, and
that would bring us to full
salvation, with no sin consciousness, as all is forgiven" ?o
longer do we recall the
offences of others towards us, because >od!s forgiving love
has been shed abroad in
our hearts, neither do we any longer #a&e #ention of the
offences of others against
us" The way of the 'ross leads ho#e" We cannot possibly enter in
through the veil
if we have @?$forgiveness in our hearts, and as %a#es says;
.confess your faults one
to another, that you #ay be healed"1 s it is written; .Aou shall
&now the truth, andthe truth shall set you free"1 To be in
'hrist is freedo# indeed fro# all sin
consciousness and re#e#brance, of @?$forgiveness for anyone, to
forgive is to forget
and never even tal& about what we have forgiven" We cannot
enter into the Holy of
Holies with any @?$forgiveness in our hearts" %esus words on the
cross were;.FTH*2 FO2>-V* TH*/, TH*A 3?OW ?OT WHT TH*A )O"1 lso
Stephen!s word
as he was being stoned to death in cts, we can utter also" .(ord
lay not this sin to
their charge"1 We therefore lay this to heart"
The nature of >od is love, love that never fails, so to
confessing as we do that weare in 'hrist %esus, we let Hi# live His
life in and through us" We are co$heirs with
'hrist and +oint heirs of the 3ingdo#" The heart of the
>ospel is forgiving love,
without that, we have not the true gospel" 2e+oice dear brethren
in the truth, in the
&nowledge i#parted, and wal& in love Bualifying to rule
and reign with 'hrist in His
3ingdo#"
- re#ain your sister in 'hrist %esus, /ar+orie Sta#pa"
