The act of forgiveness
The act of forgiveness, when it happens in the life of the Christian, strengthens the self-esteem and the pride that lurks him; a self-esteem for that; "We were good" because I respected the divine command to forgive. The thought leads me to the appearance of the risen Jesus, the apostles who were locked in the house by the fear of the Jews. After eight days, Thomas was called Thomas, as the first appearance of the Savior resurrected on the day of resurrection. Jesus was crucified, after all, his disciples, except John, Mary his mother, and myrrh-women, were scattered, hiding from the fear of the Jews. In front of the accusations, the mockery, the torment, the crucifixion, and his numbness, Jesus had been forsaken. Like it would not have happened. It was the paradigm of unconditional forgiveness. He continues to strengthen them in faith, giving them this power above humanity to forgive the sins of the peers of those who repent.
God came to forgive the Man; (It is the original sin). Throughout the teaching, we discover a single condition: the man learns in turn to forgive the mistakes of his fellow man. Forgiveness is by nature an act of goodwill. There can be no reward; we pray: and we forgive our new mistakes as we forgive those who are wrong. Our Father asks us, to whom we owe it all; our very existence. A man who can not forgive is not a free man. He is chained to hatred, which encompasses him and does not allow him to be free.
The true happiness, promised by Christ to those who forgive, as His Kingdom, of which he spoke to Pontius Pilate, is not of this world by definition. For this happiness like the "kingdom", both being immaterial, stir up doubt in man, in which the ordinary man to judge that only "what is in his hand is not a lie". This happiness is promised by Christ to those called.
Your happiness is secure and secure "beyond" in the other Kingdom.
