Pastor Says Jesus Asked HIM For FORGIVENESS

A Vision of Jesus Asking for Forgiveness

It's a beautiful day, got my Bible, I'm ready to go. I had a pastor say some things that hurt me really bad. Hurt me so bad, messed me up. Emotionally, mentally, really messed me up. Nothing physical, nothing like that.

A pastor I really respected said some words and it hurt me so bad. And one time I was laying on the floor, actually it was in this room. I'm laying on the floor and in a vision, in an encounter with God, in a vision, Jesus picks me up and holds me so close that I can't see anything.

And he holds me so close and Jesus starts to weep. And he says, please forgive me. Please forgive me. I said, what are you talking about? Please forgive you. He said, when that pastor hurt you, it's as if I hurt you.

The Accuser of the Brethren and Bearing One Another's Pain

Because he's a member of my body. Please forgive me. And when we hold on to pain from other believers or other leaders or old pastors or old Christians, look, the enemy is called the accuser of the brethren.

Any thought that accuses a brother had its origin with the devil. Any pain I hold on to from a believer, any unforgiveness I hold on to from another believer, Jesus actually takes it, the blame. Think about the cross, what Jesus did.

He did not sin, but he paid for ours. He did not sin, but he let us kill him for our sin. He took the blame for us. He took our blame and let us punish him for our stuff. So why would he not look at you and say, that pain you're holding onto, that hurt you're holding onto, that unforgiveness you're holding onto, look, holding it against them is like you're holding it against me because they're a member of my body.

Christ Bearing Human Sin and the Speaker's Emotional Response

And I wept when I realized I'd been in pain from God, from what I thought was God. I don't know if that made sense.
