Wisdom from the Lord’s Prayer (Part III of III)
Matthew 6:12 “. . . and forgive us our debts (trespasses), as we forgive o u r debtors ( t h o s e w h o trespass against us).” In v e r s e s 14 & 15, J e s u s says in the plainest possible language that if we forgive others, God will forgive us; but if we refuse to forgive others, God’s forgiveness will not extend to our lives.
