St.Peter experienced forgiveness from God when he had denied him three times. Odyesseus had traveled across many different cultures and societies, we would talk about how we could spread the gospel and not let temptation lead us into the wrong
three witnesses: 29. How much more surer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace?” Zeph. 1:6.;Luke 12:45-47 Luke 9:62 “No man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God,” We must now ask ourselves what the foregoing scriptures mean.
In gospel, He teach us the importance of forgiveness, and asks us to forgive others just like what He has done for us. I agree that gospel is a great way for us to calm down from our emotions and learn to forgive others. Forgiveness is the key to peacemaking response:
Introduction: As part of a prophetic community, we have come to realize that there is a clear distinction between someone who loves God and someone who lives like Jesus. A person who lives a holy lifestyle and seeks to do good to their neighbors, and loves God (of course), is a person that loves God. These kind of people are common, and really great to have around.

• The Four Acts of Redemptive Narrative The four acts unfold God’s plot and plan of salvation for all humanity. The first act is about the fallenness, the second is about the redemption of Christ, the third is about the “already-but-not yet” period with the help of the Spirit, and the fourth is the consummation.

In fact, he often reminded his disciples of the fact of pain and temptations.
Proverbs 19:17 clearly states, "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done. " What we give the poor, we loan to God, He never forgets to reimburse. Obviously an important attribute, hospitality reflects Jesus' qualities, in the way He loves us, and takes care of us no matter what. Whenever a troubling storm creates

Rather than worrying about what other people would think about him, he climbed down from the tree and took Jesus home with him. Jesus was criticized for going home with a sinner, but instead of changing his mind about following Zacchaeus home, He rebuked the people. Jesus said that “the Son of man came to seek and save that which was lost.” At the end of the passage, when Christ goes to Zacchaeus’s house, the Lord is quick to give salvation to his wanting family. Christ came to earth to save all men from eternal death.

But take heart; I have overcome the world" (English Standard Version). While people might wonder why God would allow bad things to happen to good people, Jesus prepares people for the fact that tribulation and hard times will come. This shows that everyone will face challenging times whether they are a good person or not.
