In one bold stroke, forgiveness obliterates the past and permits us to enter the land of new beginnings.

The men upon whose shoulders rested the initial responsibility of Christianizing the world came to Jesus with one supreme request. They did not say, 'Lord, teach us to preach'; Lord, teach us to do miracles,' or 'Lord, teach us to be wise'...but they said, 'Lord, teach us to pray.'

Christ not only died for all: He died for each.
