Reflections Along the Jesus Way
March 17, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“Prayer is both vertical and horizontal. Part of prayer is about our relationship with God, so it’s vertical. But in the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus also has us pray about other people, so there’s a horizontal dimension as well. In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us that our relationship with God empowers us, so that God’s work will be displayed in our lives.
Because we have been forgiven by God, and because we have received that forgiveness, we will also be enabled to pass that forgiveness on to others. There is no horizontal forgiveness unless and until there is vertical forgiveness. Forgiveness emanates from beyond us, from another dimension – its origin is divine, not human.”
