Is forgiving people a superpower reserved for the most devout? Jesus says any of his followers can do it. Note the process: Sin? Point them in the right direction. Repentance? Forgive them.
Ten men with leprosy plead for mercy. See Jesus generously heal them. But how many come back to thank him for his mercy?
Genuine Jesus-followers appreciate God’s unlimited mercy, and give as much as they can.
