Jesus Said Forgive Always?!

SERIES: Jesus Said What?!

MESSAGE: Jesus Said Forgive Always?!

Forgiveness can be difficult because letting go of an offense can feel like letting go of justice. When we’ve been hurt, holding on can feel justified, but unforgiveness often keeps us connected to the very pain we want to be free from. Biblical forgiveness doesn’t mean pretending the wrong never happened or saying that what someone did was okay—it means choosing to release the offense, surrender our desire for justice to God, and refuse to let the hurt continue to control our hearts. Forgiveness is placing the person, the offense, and the pain into God’s hands and trusting Him with what happens next. Join us as we discuss what it truly means to forgive, why forgiveness can be so difficult, and how we can let go without excusing the wrong.
