The Disciple & Forgiveness - Part 2 | Why Should I Forgive?
Why Should I Forgive? continues our Follow Me: The Meaning & Blessings of Discipleship series by taking a deeper look at one of the hardest parts of following Jesus. Forgiveness can feel unfair, especially when someone has deeply hurt us. So why does God ask us to forgive? Looking at Matthew 18:21–35, this message explores three reasons Scripture gives us: we forgive for God, for the person who hurt us, and for ourselves. Refusing to forgive cannot change the past, but it can keep us bound to it. Forgiveness offers a way forward, reminding us that while forgiving may not feel fair, neither was Jesus going to the cross for us.
