We continue our journey through the Lord’s Prayer. When we pray, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us,” we are asking God to forgive our sins according to the same standard we have used in forgiving the sins of others. When we pray this prayer we are really saying, “O God, deal with us as I deal with other people.” This is a dangerous prayer. Are we sure we really want to pray this?
