Settling out of Court

The reading today, Luke 12:57-!3:17, starts with such important good news if we will heed the warning.  It seems like our Lord is reminding us to try hard to settle any fights we are having with others early (readily ask for or give forgiveness) before we can be judged as obstinate and suffer the consequences of resentment and bitterness prison. This prison comes with much torment (Matthew 18:34), and we will not get out of there until we have paid the last cent of our debt. Really we can not get out of there at all without God's grace. So let's all take the forgiveness route today and enjoy the freedom of our Lord.
