Forgiveness – Week 1
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is an essential skill, a moral imperative, and a religious belief that cuts right to the core of what it means to be human.[1]
- What if it feels like forgiveness won’t actually fix anything?
- Does forgiveness mean I have to be in a relationship with that person again?
- Is it even possible to forgive if they’re not sorry for what they did?[2]
I think C.S. Lewis summed it up perfectly:
Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive.
Forgiveness is really hard! That’s why the only way to truly make the journey of forgiveness is with Jesus. This two-part series will be a first step in the right direction.
