“O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ”
– O, Come to the Altar, Elevation Worship

I was listening to this song on the way to work this week and was struck by the last phrase – “Forgiveness was bought with / The precious blood of Jesus Christ”.  God forgives the unforgivable, sin, because of the blood of Jesus, the blood he shed in an excruciating sacrifice of his own body.  Who are we to hold a grudge or withhold forgiveness when we are wronged?

I pray that we remember the cross and his sacrifice when we are angry with our significant other or hurt by a friend. Life cannot be lived to the fullest when we waste time in anger.
