Christmas A Time For-giving

Christmas A Time For-giving The Quandary of Family Christmas A Time For-giving

Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, "Have everyone leave my presence!" So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh's household heard about it. Genesis 45:1-2 (NIV)

Choose to Pray For Them

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Luke 6:27-28 (NIV)

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Luke 23:34 (NIV)

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Romans 12:14 (NIV)

Choose to Forgive Them

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:14 (NIV)

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins (misses the mark) against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. Matthew 18:21-22 (NIV)

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13 (NIV)

Choose to Bless Them

Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Romans 12:19-20 (NIV)

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 (NIV)

The Three Choices Choose to Pray for them Choose to Forgive them Choose to Bless them
