Lucy is chasing Charlie Brown…
“I’m going to get you Charlie Brown…I’m going to get you!”
All of a sudden Charlie Brown comes to a screeching halt.
He stops, puts up his hands and says, “Lucy, Lucy, if we as children cannot learn how to forgive one another then how can our parents learn to forgive one another? And in turn how can the world…”
At that moment Lucy punches him and knocks him to the ground.
Lucy said, “I had to … He was beginning to make sense.”
Friends, in the midst of today’s troubled world, filled with strife, division, and hate, Charlie Brown’s plea of learning to forgive rises us from the chaos that surrounds us. The road to forgiveness is not an easy one, but it is one that Christ walked and invites us to follow.
Matthew 18:23-35 is our gospel lesson for this weekend and I invite you to read it before you connect with us for worship this weekend.
I look forward to sharing the Lord’s Day with each one of you this Sunday!
Peace,
Pastor Cathy
