Canceled!
"The servant’s master took pity
on him, canceled the debt
and let him go."
Matthew 18:
27
Jesus Christ believes in only one kind of
cancel culture. He wants to cancel all of
our sins!
Colossians 2:13-14 says, “God made you
alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
having canceled the charge against our legal
indebtedness, which stood against us and
condemned us; he has taken it away,
nailing it to the cross."
Unlike the cancel culture which tries to erase
those who don’t agree with it,
Christ’s love for
us cancels our sins, and His love will never be
canceled. We go on living for Him in a culture
that is increasingly hostile and judgmental.
In Matthew 18, Jesus told of a man who owed
the king millions of dollars. The king forgave
the debt. The forgiven man refused to cancel
the debt of a man who owned him a much
lesser amount. It came back to haunt him.
Because God’s love has canceled our debt,
we must forgive others. This is the right kind
of cancel culture. Practice forgiveness wisely;
the rest of the world will take notice!
"Those
who call God their Father will
display something of His character and
show a forgiving attitude toward others.
