Though the visiting teaching messages are chosen months (a year?) in advance, it often seems like the messages are picked in response to events of the world. Such would be the case this month. July's message is another in a series: Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ: Forgiving and Merciful.
In a nation that has been caught up with the Supreme Court ruling regarding marriage, how great is the need to remember forgiveness! Emotions have run high, and people on both sides of the decision can benefit from the message of mercy and forgiveness.
Read the entire message here, and feel free to print this handout to accompany the lesson, if you'd like.
Thanks for the example of Jesus Christ.
I also like Colossians 3:13: Forgive as the Lord forgave you. This is one of the verses we use at preschool.
ReplyDeleteForgiveness is certainly a major theme in the Bible.
DeleteBeautiful handout!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mom. :-)
DeleteIt isn't easy to get past the anger and forgive. I think I was supposed to read this one today. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not easy, but when we can, our burdens are lifted and our souls can find peace.
DeleteLife has been crazy and I haven't visited my favorite blogs for awhile now. This is a nice post Kristi. I may have to print the handout when I do my VT this month. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the craziness. Hope things settle down for you. Nice to see you again!
