There are consequences to unforgiveness, and it is important for us to understand the consequences of unforgiveness so that we see the importance of forgiving others freely.
The forgiveness of sins is at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ and biblical community. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." God sent his only son to die on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. He forgave us when we didn't deserve it. And that should fuel God's people to be a people that forgive one another freely. We don't forgive people because they deserve it. We forgive people out of a deep gratitude for how much God has forgiven us.

Prayer is talking to God and listening to him. And he wants us to do that all the time. He wants us to spend our day coming back to him over and over again in prayer like how we invest in other relationships. And this constant prayer is a lifeline to God's people and it molds us into people who are hopeful towards the future.

Like Simeon, we're called to recognize Jesus as our personal fulfillment of promise. In a world of waiting, His arrival brings peace that dismisses our deepest fears.
