Living the Christian life refers to walking in love and forgiveness. The three greatest acts of forgiveness in the Bible are presented in this poem.

Jesus was crucified on the cross and said, "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:24).

Joseph's brothers were jealous of him and sold him into slavery. He continued to live the Christian life. He could foresee future events and rose to power next to the Pharaoh of Egypt. His brothers came to Egypt in search of food and Joseph welcomed them.

Stephen was an unknown disciple of Jesus who performed many great deeds for others. False charges were brought against him. He was arrested and stoned to death. Before dying he forgave his accusers and murderers.

In light of these three greatest acts of forgiveness, can you justify any wrong done against you as too grave to be forgiven?
