“To Err is Human...” Colossians 3:13

“To Err is Human...” Colossians 3:13

The saying “No man is an island” captures a foundational truth about us humans; we are designed to be relational and are better together. The challenge is that everyone around us is so faulty. The old saying goes “to err is human, to forgive divine” but that shouldn’t excuse us because of in our humanness to stop seeking forgiveness nor to be- coming forgiving. Disappointments lead to division, hurt leads to anger resentment. The key to living with humans is in creating a community of forgiveness, where we who are forgiven begin to forgive perpetuating God’s plan into the midst of the broken world around us. 

Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
