       Okay, so let’s start at verse 12, which says, “and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Since we discussed the first part of this section of the prayer last time, again, we are going to start at the second part of it. Have we forgiven our debtors, those people who have sinned against us, whether in our current day or in the past somewhere? Indeed, this question is very important for us to answer correctly. All of us, at different points in our lives, have and will experience deep rejection from certain individuals. It’s just a statement of fact. It’s the way life works, unfortunately, in our fallen world. And, then, of course, there are the smaller offenses that occur, the minuscule things that people have done against us. Maybe it was a small insult at work, or perhaps someone said they would help you with something, and then they backed out of helping you. Perhaps someone lied to you, and you caught them in the lie. Whatever it is, offenses are bound to happen to each and everyone of us. Just as we all will offend others at various times in various ways, so will others offend us.
