THE PARDON

THE DOOR TO THE RECONCILIATION

© Carlos Padilla, May 2008

The pardon is the door to the reconciliation in any relation that needs restoration and the previous step to be able to love us an the other. It is not possible to be loved without pardoning. The objective of the life is the love, if resentment keeps cannot be reached. The Gentleman, our Teacher teaches to us:

… You pardon and you will be pardoned… Lucas 6:37. God does not pardon to us if we did not pardon.

The pardon is a balsam that emanates of the soul, soul of God. Our soul, as it handcuffs of the soul of the Gentleman also emanates that balsam, balsam, balsamic oil that like lamp and incense, is ignited and burned by the fire of the Spirit and arrives at the heart, the heart of God and the heart of the man, the pardoned one, and del that it pardons.

To pardon does not mean to always yield, to leave the evil prevails, nor to let themselves pisotear without justice, but to include/understand the sexual essence of the man who has a missed approach, a nature that all we have and that only in Christ can be dominated. If we have a spiritual objective clearly from God, will be able to pardon all the offenses that also do to us, and we will learn to understand that those that are enemy of God and blasfeman against Their Spirit cannot be pardoned. Example also gave the Teacher us when it dealt with the hypocrites, you write and fariseos including, calling whitened tombs and race to them of vipers.

There are many daily circumstances in which we will be that we must apologize or pardon. The sooner we include/understand that it is a subject with which we will live on a daily basis, before we could be used to us pardoning with facility. This for that they are of a merciful heart, but that falls in the resentment. There are many have a violent heart or egoistic and they cannot never love.

But we speak of the pardon between brothers. In the spiritual nature the pardon is the beginning of the reconciliation. The Bible says that if a brother has something against us and we have made the peace, we cannot come to God to present/display offering.

…, If you bring your offering to the altar, and there you therefore remember that your brother has something against you, there leaves your offering in front of the altar, and walks, reconcíliate first with your brother, and then they see and presents/displays your offering. Mateo 5:23.

You to him for the reconciliation do not wait for your brother, but búscale. It accepts your part of fault and error and escúchale, looks for La Paz and follows it. If two in Christ are agreed in reconciling to him, the pardon already is granted also from God and Its blessing spills envelope you. If there is to clarify personal or spiritual subjects, with who better than with a brother in the faith and the friendship of Christ to be able to listen, to speak and to work for or of the faith, the mutual relation, the family or the Church?

The man must be pardoned in three situations

First before God when we accepted to rescuing Christ as and our sins are pardoned. Of this form the fault is sent to us to have lived separated from God or looking for to save us by our own religious merits. Christ took in the Cross our sins and abre the door to be able to feel the love of God in our lives. If we accepted to Christ like rescuer, we are pardoned and reconciled with God and we received its love and blessing.

The second before who we have sinned or victim, receiving affection of the person, but also before this situation we must begin requesting pardon to him to God and recognizing the part that touches to us of error. Of this form we are reconciled and being loved by our brothers. In the same way pardoning the brother who has sinned against us, pardoning it in our heart before one regrets.

And the third same, so that the prosecutor in brings back to consciousness stops accusing to us and he frees myself of the fault feeling, but noncause effect. This is a ruse of the enemy, the deceit, to make believe the man who is even guilty what he has been pardoned. Christ is our Liberator.

… perdónanos our debts, as also we pardoned to our indebted ones… Mateo 6:12 remembers Jesus to us in the most famous oration of history, the basic oration to the Father, the pardon of debts, and these are not financiers, but of the soul and the spirit, of the heart. The feelings of the fault have to be pardoned, released of the soul so that the Spirit flows with freedom Santo within His temple, our soul, so that the love of God emanates in us.

THE ORIGIN AND THE CAUSE TO NEED THE PARDON

Once the disciple of Christ has overcome the enemy giants of the love, can pardon of natural and automatic form, like the breathing, up to seventy times seven. It is then when, as he leaves from the Body of Christ can comprise of: … in this they will know all that you are my disciples if you will have love by the other… Juan 13:35. Therefore the one that it does not pardon, does not love, and the one that it does not love cannot be Its disciple.

The giants watch that us in the meat, against which we win like disciples of Christ with the power of the Spirit, are related in Gálatas the 5:19:

… And manifest they are the works of the meat, that are: adultery, fornication, rubbish, leachate, idolatry, witchcraft, enemistades, lawsuits, jealousy, wraths, fights, dissensions, heresies, envies, homicides, drunkennesses, orgías, and similar things to these; about which I admonish to you, like already I have said it to you before, that those that practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God…

However, if we are spiritual to our prepares us attitude to obtain fruits that often begin with the pardon like continuous Gálatas 5:22:

… But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, benignancy, kindness, faith, meekness, templanza; against such things there is no law. But those that are of Christ have crucified the meat with their passions and desires. If we lived by the Spirit, we also walk by the Spirit. We do not become vainglorious, irritating an a to us others, envying an a to us others…

If this we do we are pardoned by God and we have the qualities of a heart soon to pardon. Therefore to live without the loads that need pardon we obey the Law of Christ, also in Gálatas 6:

… Brother, if some is surprised in some lack, you who you are spiritual, restauradle with spirit of meekness, considerándote same, are not that you also are attemped. You bear loads of the other, and obey therefore the law of Christ…

Therefore, when a brother offends or makes damage, we deal to him with meekness and we bear the loads between the members of the Church and demonstrate to our pardon and affection in the treatment and the relations of friendship, because all we offend and the one that is free of sin that throws the first stone.

… Therefore I say to you: All sin and blasphemy will be pardoned the men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be pardoned to them. To whatever it will say some word against the Son of the Man, it will be pardoned to him; but the one that Santo speaks against the Spirit, will be pardoned to him, neither in this century nor in the successor. Mateo 12:31.

ATTITUDE DEL THAT IT PARDONS

Mateo 5:38.

… To it hurts whatever you in a cheek, vuélvele also the other…

… To that it wants ponerte and quitarte subject to litigation the túnica, déjale also the layer…

… To whatever it forces to take load to you by one mile, it sees with him two…

… To that it asks to you, dale; and to that it wants to take from lent you, you do not refuse it…

Reflection: We are able to do this? If there are to love our enemies, how we will not pardon a brother in Christ?

The friendly in the faith are a treasure, so they fight not to lose them. If they have realized, it is not easy to find true friendly in Christ, so it does not seem to him that it is worth the trouble to feed the friendship in the Spirit. This is the base of the Church of Christ, the love and the friendship in brotherly affection.

The objective of the pardon is not the action in itself, but the consequence, is to share the friendship and the love of God with our fellow, so it is going to see his friend or person with whom it cannot share for a long time and perdónela of heart and tries to share and to diminish the differences. In Christ, if it is not by reason for enemistad against God, to any brother with whom it can be angry, perdónelo, it prays and it shares the situation with the Gentleman so that He helps to change his heart him. In the same way that the Law if one does not see with the eyes of Christ is not fulfilled, because it is a code, here we are before the same situation, like the example that showed Jesus to us with whom it coveted a woman in his heart, and without arriving at the act, already God considers him I adulterate. The pardon is equal, if we pardoned protocolically we did not love, we must show by our treatment the true pardon.

If a brother apologizes because he has seen his error, we must pardon it, but our heart already is given to God and knows the meat human, produces an immediate reaction of reception at the moment at which a friend regrets. … You do not leave puts the sun on your anger. Efesios 4:26 and… If it is possible, as soon as depends on you, you are peacefully with all the men. Romans 12:18. Whatever costs to him to the sexual man to pardon. The serious thing is that to the spiritual man, although rather less also it costs to him, for that reason Pablo said that they were sexual; spiritual man I talk about to whom it has been born again. Thus, then, we see that not even in this new nature the man pardons with facility, it must be experienced in break like the Teacher, must have traveled to the abyss of the solitude and the island of the scorn, to the desert of the soul, where one only is with God, so that the Spirit of Christ, consoles his soul, and learns the human nature, so that he includes/understands as he is in its interior, just as the fellow and the spiritual fight that the enemy of the man seeds by the resentment and other arms. The meat is a fellow traveller who introduces ties to the Spirit, and relation, outside and within the Church, but with Him, we overcome the feelings of the meat that battle against the soul. The soul that does not have Christ cannot really pardon because it needs the love God, and that love brings the Spirit of God, does not come within the natural man. The true pardon cannot come from the natural man, but of the man who follows Christ and he loves to him, who fights, or and the good battle fights spiritually, or and it loves God.

The Bible shows to the great experiences of men and women to us of God that they have had to coexist with the scorn, the forgetfulness, the lack of recognition, and nevertheless the love of God, which shows as a situation of wrath, anger and resentment in a source of mercy towards which they made the damage, conscious can be changed or unconsciously.

In order to pardon then really, like Jesus to his twigs, which did not come to apologize, like the seventy times to the brother that apologizes, the Teacher shows in His Word the lessons to us of His heart that has been putting in the hearts of its town during history, which we will see in the following Biblical Texts that it can read in his Bible, or in www.biblegateway.com/versions/i ndex.phpaction=getVersionInfo&vid=6& lang=9:

TWO HISTORIES ON THE PARDON

Jose and his brothers in Egypt:

… Seeing the brothers of Jose who his father was dead, they said: Perhaps it will detest Jose to us, and it will give the payment us of all the evil that we did to him. 16Y sent to say to Jose: Your father commanded before his death, saying: 17Así you will say to Jose: I request to you that pardons now the badness of your brothers and their sin, because badly they tried to you; therefore, now we requested to you that pardons the badness of the servants of the God of your father. And Jose cried while they spoke. their brothers also 18Vinieron and they were postraron in front of him, and they said: Hays here by servants yours. 19Y responded Jose to them: You do not fear; perhaps am I instead of God? 20Vosotros you thought badly against me, but he directed it to God to good, to make what we see today, while still alive to maintain much town. 21Ahora, then, you are not scared; I will sustain and to your children. He consoled thus them, and he spoke to them to the heart.

The brothers of Jose not yet have learned the value of the pardon, of when it is forgiven of heart, forgets the evil that there have done to one, no longer counts. In the same way Mr. God of mercy pardons our sins to us when we regreted heart and no longer he remembers more them, watches like a his loved children.

The grandmother blinds and the grandson goloso:

A day a boy prayed that God pardoned to him because had cleared money to its grandmother to buy treats. Afraid of which to his they discovered it parents and they punished when his grandmother, he blinds, he felt that it needed money. A day they discovered the treats in the pocket and packages to him of which it had eaten. Asking his parents to him it surprised the reaction to him of his grandmother, who as she wanted so much to him, and knew that never they gave money him for the treats, said to the parents who had been she the one that the money had given him, loading she with the fault. The boy, to his seven years did not understand because he passed that one to him, because he knew that to rob he was bad.

To God he did not please to him either that the boy robbed and although had opportunely to be reprimanded, that time he arrived when he was a man and her grandmother died. In her memories, a prevented grandmother, who did not have many things with which to bless its grandson who as much wanted, but left that one legacy him, covered her lack and the boy a day would understand that she already had pardoned to him, because she knew that she did not include/understand the depth than she did. The Gentleman also knew that one boy when he was father would have to educate his children. In addition that boy, man, now speaking with Jesus, his Gentleman and having in the Bible the guide for his home, would consider that one form in which their grandmother, kind believer and, besides the Gentleman, already had pardoned to him, before the same really apologized and it regreted.

Intention of Sir with that one boy gave fruit lasting that was used for his paternity, because it valued the mercy that God had had of Him in its attitude, which now detested like son of God. It would be then, in fear of that his children could to rob of majors, where it would be the true discipline praying by them to be able to teach to its children who did not hide the things and to deal with to them with affection so that its relation was of friendship and confidence, and not only discipline. This, now man, would strive in teaching and educating his children so that they were honest and obedient. The blessing of that one pardon, opportunely, was major that if simply they had punished that one boy at that time, because surely it would have continued buying treats secretly.

With this small history, we have traveled with that one boy so that we saw, that the pardon does not bear fruit if first is not granted, and not only in the heart, but in the attitude and the treatment that is received and that we give, and in the request to God by Its mercy, because, like all the things of the Gentleman, bears fruit opportunely.

CONCLUSION

The pardon is an attitude del that it loves, is previous to the repentance of the fellow that offended or made damage. We do not have to hope in our heart, but to give account to us of the amount of circumstances that causes that we must be pardoned and that we must pardon. If we learn this we will be pious and be able to try warmly brotherly, so that when they apologize to us we receive with love of God. Meanwhile, we have tried if it and it does not depend on us, we will be praying until they want, and if they never want we will leave it into the hands of the Gentleman who knows the hearts. We do not have right to force to anybody nothing, the relations are of the heart, but in the Body of Christ it is an order to pardon to us and to love an a to us others, but it depends on two or more people. If one does not want to be related to us, it is not in our hands. Also this we must pardon, until its time comes.

… Father, perdónalos because they do not know what they do… Lucas 23:34. Amen.
