*DAILY DEW 4/MARCH/2025* *HERALDS OF FORGIVENESS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."* (John 20:23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Authority to Forgive_ In this verse, Jesus is granting His disciples authority to forgive sins. This authority is not based on their own power or ability, but on Jesus' own authority and power. He had just shown them His resurrected body and had breathed the Holy Spirit into them, empowering them for their mission. Now, He's giving them the authority to declare forgiveness to those who repent. _The Ministry of Reconciliation_ This verse highlights the disciples' role in the ministry of reconciliation. As ambassadors of Christ, they are to declare forgiveness to those who turn to God in repentance. This is not about them having the power to forgive sins on their own, but about them being agents of God's forgiveness. They are to proclaim the Good News of forgiveness and reconciliation to a world in need. _Lesson for Us_ The lesson from this verse is that we, too, have a role in the ministry of reconciliation. As believers, we are called to be ambassadors of Christ, sharing the message of forgiveness and reconciliation with others. We are not the ones who forgive sins, but we are to declare God's forgiveness to those who repent. _MEDITATION:_ *May we take seriously our role in this ministry, sharing the Good News of forgiveness and reconciliation with a world in need!!* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MARCH,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
