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.
