Forgiveness Is Our Duty, Not Our Mood
Forgiveness Is Our Duty, Not Our Mood
I’ve struggled with the connection between Luke 17:10 and forgiveness.
“So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”
Jesus had just commanded repeated forgiveness. Then he reminds his disciples that servants simply do their duty. That’s striking.
Servants of a king obey regardless of how they feel. They don’t check their emotions before they respond. They act because they belong to the King.
Forgiveness works the same way. We don’t forgive when it feels right. We forgive because it is right. We forgive because it is obedience.
Feelings may follow later. But obedience comes first.
