    Forgiveness- What Do We Carry And What Do We Let Go?

    Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 3, 2001

    Forgiveness is not about accepting that something wrong is somehow right, or trying to forget it: a prayerful reflection on Matthew 18.

    Today I would like to say a few words about things in our lives that we carry and things that we let go. I find today’s Gospel reading one of the most challenging in the Bible.

    What is forgiveness?

    INTRODUCTION Forgiveness is the most basic Christian quality. Without forgiveness, we wouldn’t have Christianity as we know it.

    God’s grace toward us is unlimited.

    Unlimited Grace Today we continue our series of messages on the topic of "grace". At root, the question we’re examining is "how can we know God?"

    We are blessed when our sins are forgiven... how much greater is the blessing when we can forgive those who wrong us.

    God Is Merciful-- Are We? MT 18:21-35 Today’s scripture reminds me of the story told about Gen. Robert E. Lee after the civil war.

    Those who appreciate the depth of sin that God has forgiven in them will forgive others as well.

    This morning, we continue our journey through the parables of Christ. Parables, as I’ve noted before, are short and simple. They don’t have complex plots, or dozens of characters, like a Russian novel. You don’t need a Ph.D. in theology or Hebrew literature to understand them. And yet, despite ...read more
