Forgiveness

By all reports Arizona Senator John McCain was a man of integrity who loved deeply. I find it interesting that McCain could forgive the Vietnamese who tortured him for five and a half years while he was a prisoner of war, but refused to forgive President Trump for the political attacks during the 2016 campaign. As per McCain’s direction, President Trump is not allowed to take part in McCain’s memorial service. Jesus said, “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matt 6:14-15 NIV).
