The Chibi News Daily Reflection

Hello, I'm Mike, a Church of England Vicar in Sussex. At the heart of Christianity lies a stunning truth
0:14
Through Christ's cross, God forgives us. Those regrets that haunt us, he washes clean
0:22
It is a joy that we cherish. And yet Jesus challenges us to mirror that grace with others
0:29
forgiven we must in turn forgive. Now we might think but what about those truly terrible things
0:38
and it's true those things need careful thought beyond our time here but if we're honest so many
0:46
of the things that we fall out over with others are really quite small in the great scheme of
0:51
things, things that are well within our power to forgive. That sharp word, that unintended slight
1:01
Jesus tells a parable of a man forgiven a debt of billions by a king in an act of incredible mercy
1:09
But his response? He goes away and hounds a poorer man who owes him a comparative pittance
1:15
refusing to show that same mercy. Jesus invites us to ask whether there are comparatively small offences
1:24
that we've allowed to fester and to snowball and to ruin relationships
1:29
and whether today is the time to forgive
