God's Model of Forgiveness

What penance can the slave who owns nothing, whose very life is not his own, whose rebellious actions are worthy of death, offer to his Master that would warrant reconciliation and restoration?REPENTANCE AND RESTITUTION!What does a Good Master offer a slave who rebelled against His authority, stole from His possessions, and fled as far away as humanly possible from His presence?FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION!God shows us how a slave to sin who deserves the full wrath of God poured out upon him forever is offered forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration through faith in Jesus Christ and repentance.
