    Perhaps the toughest person to forgive is the unrepentant? More than that, why does God ask us to forgive the unrepentant when He doesn't? The Apostle Paul explains to us how we deal with such people in II Timothy 4:14-18 and Romans 12:17-21.

    Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

    There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

    As Christ was lifted between heaven and earth upon the cross, He uttered seven statements as He hung dying to provide redemption for fallen humanity. The first was a prayer to the Father, one in which Christ sought forgiveness for those responsible for the crucifixion.

    Father, Forgive Them Luke 23:34 Luke 23:33a – And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him. These are the solemn words that Luke records concerning the crucifixion of our Lord. There is no great detail, just a simple statement, there they crucified him. ...read more
