When the Lord looked upon Hezekiah and had mercy upon him for his sins, he prayed a prayer of thanksgiving in which he said, "…for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back…." That is, the Lord treated his offenses, "as loathsome and abominable, and so as not to be seen by him; for though God sees all the sins of his people with his eye of omniscience, and in his providence takes notice of them, and chastises for them, yet not with his eye of avenging justice; because Christ has took them on himself, and made satisfaction for them, and an end of them; they are removed from them as far as the east is from the west, and no more to be seen upon them; nor will they be any more set before his face, or in the light of his countenance; but as they are out of sight they will be out of mind, never more remembered, but forgotten; as what is cast behind the back is seen and remembered no more. The phrase is expressive of the full forgiveness of sins, even of all sins (Psalm 85:2), the object of God's love is the souls of his people; the instance of it is the delivery of them from the pit of corruption; the evidence of it is the pardon of their sins." (John Gill) And as we saw last Lord's Day, we are to emulate the Lord in forgiving one another. – Pastor Schlegel
