Hey everyone,
Sorry this is a day late, I've been really busy because we are doing some major sound renovations in our sanctuary. Please pray for this project which is the rest of this week and most of next week.
Pastor Bruce shared on Tuesday night about the discipline of forgiveness. Forgiveness is hard because, once again, we can't stand on our right to be mad, stay anger, or get revenge on a person who has wronged us. Romans 5:8 says "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." That verse doesn't say, "Once we felt bad about what we have done and asked for forgiveness, Christ died for us." Christ died for us while we were still His enemy. We are enemies of God in our fallen state. It is only because of the blood of Jesus that we can have a relationship with God. That blood washes and covers our sins so that we can truly be forgiven.
I understand that people can hurt you very deeply, and that it is hard to truly forgive those who have done such things. But embrace the forgiveness that Christ has given you, through His Son, and hopefully that forgiveness will make it's way, through you, into others lives as well.
