A Quick-to-Forgive Church (Genesis 50:15-21) - a podcast by adb

“Pay it forward.” That phrase means that when someone does something for you, instead of paying that person back directly, you pass along kindness to another person instead. Doing something kind for someone else is a way of thanking the person who originally did something kind for you. 

Today God applies that concept to forgiveness. God forgave our countless sins, paying an incomprehensible price to do so. Obviously, we will never have occasion to do the same for God because God has never sinned. God has never wronged us. 

But others may do us wrong. Others may cause us pain. And when we are quick to forgive, it is one way we thank God for being so quick to forgive us. This is the kind of church God wants—people who, like him, are quick to forgive.
