Forgiveness

Christ's First Coming

Christ's first coming was for one purpose: to forgive our sins. Passover is a test of whether we really understand what forgiveness is. Do we ask for forgiveness without changing the behavior that led to us needing forgiveness? When He comes again, He will come as Judge and we will be forgiven only if we ourselves have forgiven the debts against us.
