Forgiving The Unforgivable Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 18, 2018

Jesus models forgiving the unforgivable as he prays for forgiveness from the cross. As we recognize that he is praying for us, and that we are no better off than those we need to forgive, we gain the power to draw on the Father's love to forgive others.

They cried out Hosanna, meaning, Save Us. We also must cry out in repentance to be saved from our sins, and be made ready as bride without spot or wrinkle awaiting the bridegroom. It does nothing unless our hearts are turned back to GOD. Repentance is a gift to come back from wherever we strayed.

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 31, 2022

Jesus, having talked about money and our need not to serve money, now tells us not to be anxious. One great source of anxiety is material anxiety, anxiety over possessions, and provision. However, if we serve God, we have no cause to worry.
