I just finished watching the movie 'Into The Wild'. It left an impression. One thing really caught my ear. To paraphrase, if you don't forgive, you can't love. I thought how true. They kind of cancel each other out, don't they? You can't really love someone that you are holding something against. In not forgiving, you reap the results. Jesus said that if you didn't forgive men their trespasses, God would not forgive yours. Now I think I get it. After all, God is love, and he who lives in love lives in God and God in him. If you aren't living in love, you might say that you are reaping the whole God not forgiving you in a way, because you are not able to walk in His presence in that state. This comment by Jesus could well have been about the present, not necessarily judgement day. There may be something huge here. The keys to the kingdom. What you bind on earth you bind in heaven. What you loose on earth, will be loosed in heaven.
