Forgiveness?

with 2 comments

In my weekly Heartlight.org article, I begin a 7 week series on the 7 sayings of Jesus on the Cross. The first saying is, “Father, forgive them for they don’t know what they are doing.” (Click for the fuller audio version of this message.) It is a strong reminder about how important it is to God that we are a people a of forgiveness — that I am a person of forgiveness.

What makes it hard for your to forgive others?

Why is it so easy to want to get even or hold onto bitterness?

What are steps you’ve taken to forgive others just as “God in Christ has forgiven you”?
